Champaign restaurant closing after 53 years

CHAMPAIGN – Arnie Yarber would have a hard time counting all the students he's felt like a dad to over the half-century he's served barbecue in downtown Champaign.

But he's counting on all his customers to understand the time has come to close the doors of his longtime restaurant, Po' Boys Bar-B-Que, at 58 E. Columbia Ave.

"I'm just tired," he said. "The old man has gotten tired."
