Residents have speculated about a few Clarksville businesses closing in the River Hill Village Center, but the fate of Maggie Moo's remains a mystery.

Earlier this week, I peeked my head through the windows within Maggie Moo's and saw darkness, stacked chairs and an empty ice cream counter. I popped next store, and saw empty shelves at Vintage Wine Cellars in the River Hill Village Center. That mystery was easy enough to solve. "We have gotten low on inventory and we're cleaning out our inventory, but it's business as usual," owner Nathan Merke told me. Merke said the store would soon be placing its large holiday order and that customers would soon see the shelves restocked. So the River Hill Village …
