Four or five issues ago, we started including a box-out in each issue's Restaurant Guide listings called "Ins, Outs, and Almosts" -- news of which restaurants have closed, which have moved, and which are about to open. Below is the box-out that will run in the June issue, which we're a few days from sending to press. While it will eventually get posted at the June 2009 section of stlmag.com, we thought we'd give Feast readers an early look. -- Stephen Schenkenberg
