Sadlacks, ancient hangout to aging hippies, will soon close the doors. The few small businesses across Hillsborough Street from the NC State University Bell Tower will soon be scraped from the earth and replaced with a 125-room luxury hotel. Sadlacks has been a fit with its neighborhood for more than 30 years.
Tommy Tate, aka Shakin’ Sherman, has been making regular appearances there for years. How many more will there be? Not many. Finding a replacement home for Sadlacks has so far been fruitless.
