Curious, when are fall restaurant closures announced?

I know it's an ongoing project done very graciously by St. John Ruth, but I don't recall when the list appeared last year. Ruth, when do restaurants usually start to make these decisions? Since our group opted to travel in October, we are affected this year. Wondering if some of my favs will be open. Needless to say, returning to work after the holiday weekend is difficult.

I JUST started this yesterday! Only a few people have answered me yet....I'll try to update in a few days. Many more places will be open in October than September.

Thanks - not trying to pester, just more curious than anything. I know I speak for all of the off-off season travelers when I say thank you for compiling this list!
