Not the same situation as, for instance, Stage having to close and putting a family out of their livelihood.<br /><br />Anyway, IMO, "egregious rent" would be suitable karmic payback for bars being associated with Santacon. If we can get rid of the bars, and only have banks, drug stores, and coffee places, maybe the drunk Santas would go elsewhere. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72867624341698303232017-08-03T15:14:13.353-04:002017-08-03T15:14:13.353-04:00@11:01am: That's your opinion.

OTOH, I enjoyed many, many good meals from Jade Mountain, and Reggie ALWAYS had a smile & an encouraging word (which was especially meaningful for me at the end of a tough day at work).<br /><br />Jade Mountain was a family-run business where they knew everyone, and it was a beacon of comfort to a LOT of us. I miss it still.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-64139744136694450972017-08-03T13:35:52.149-04:002017-08-03T13:35:52.149-04:00To be replaced by...empty storefronts.

No matter how many high end and/or trendy bars, restaurants or foodie shops start up, there's a limit to how many tourists,students and weekenders can support.

And then if you could stomach that pressure, how do you clear a salary for the proprietor to provide for themselves and or family? <br /><br />I guess certain nightlife entrepreneurs and restaurateurs can do it, but these prices just means the exodus of casual cool will continue in the EV.
