The Latest on Lake:

• Finance & Commerce reports that the now-closed Uptown Bar is eyeing a new home in Lyn-Lake. They're interested in the Lyndale Theatre building at 2934 Lyndale Ave. S., which has been vacant for several years and was most recently home to Theater Antiques.
  
  
  
• The Star Tribune wrote up a review of "Traveling Light", which is perhaps most notable for its location -- it's being staged inside the Pioneers & Soldiers Memorial Cemetery at Cedar & Lake. It runs through July 28.
  
  
  
• City Pages's Hot Dish recently interviewed Town Talk Diner chef Tommy Begnaud on a variety of subjects. Included are his choices for favorite dishes on the Town Talk menu (the Begnaud Burger, lamb chops, cheese curds, and the "Oldest Fashion" cocktail) and a must-try from the new menu (Wild Acres Fried Chicken). Read part 1, part 2, and part 3.
