If you’re a fan of San Jose’s Poor House Bistro, you should make plans to get there soon. Jay Meduri, who owns the New Orleans-style restaurant and music venue, says preparations are starting to move Poor House from its current home on Barack Obama Boulevard to Little Italy in mid-November.

This Sunday’s eighth annual Lil’ Easy Backyard Party will kick off a winding down of live music at the current location, which will shut down its stage after a big jam session on Sept. 30. Poor House Bistro opened in 2005, but the land was sold to Google to be part of its Downtown West development. The internet giant agreed to help move the historic house — the same house Meduri’s mother lived in — a few blocks to West St. John Street, where it’ll be between Henry’s Hi-Life and the under-construction Italian Heritage Museum.
