Hello and welcome to the final Our Liverpool of the week.
Just like that we're in the final moments of this week. It's been a busy one for news and if you're anything like me I'm sure your heads a little scrambled with getting everything in order before Friday night, so I'll keep this Our Liverpool simple.
So here are three stories you can't miss before we head into the weekend, featuring Hooters, the fantastic story of the man who owns Papillion, and a wonder nan who never missed Sunday lunch.

Awkwardness and £10 sandwiches at Hooters
Reviewer Emily Sleight went to Hooters yesterday to see what all the fuss was about. Once inside she found the "deathly silence" to create an awkward atmosphere.
But then again she did go at lunchtime on a weekday, rather than when it's likely busiest like on a Saturday night. Read Emily's review of the Water Street here.
Man shunned London to reinvent Liverpool's nightlife
A student who was drawn to Liverpool for the football went on to become a formational influence in the reinvention of Liverpool's nightlife scene. Rob Gutmann opened his first bar in 1994, but now owns Papillion on Slater Street and Metrocola on Leece Street as well as a handful of other popular city venues.
Storm Newton spoke to Rob for our In My Liverpool Home series.
Wonder nan "always made Sunday lunch" for everyone
Tributes have poured in for a former town mayor and "lovely mum" and nan who kept making Sunday dinner even after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Sefton reporter James McNeill spoke to son Graham about his wonderful and "generous" mum, who touched so many lives.
"Maybe when I get older I can do just a little of what she has done. I think it has rubbed off on me a little bit but I don't do as much as she did."
