HUDSON- Fans of Green Gables in Hudson have just a few days to get their burger fix as the restaurant announced Wednesday it will close temporarily.

In a Facebook post, the family owned establishment said the winter months are slow and curbside service isn’t enough to keep the doors open.

COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
