He's shooting himself in the foot not staying open till midnight. even if he plops two guys behind the counter to serve a limited bratwurst / perogie menu to keep it quick and easy. I'm sure he could get some Veselka-bred late night help. That or give me the keys and I'll serve canned beer, steamed sausage and challah bread till 1am thurs-sat and hand him a wad of cash on sunday afternoon.

Seems extremely tricky, though. How would you keep landlords from exploiting it with endless rent hikes? How would you keep political corruption out of it? We'd better figure out something, though -- we won't have the likes of The Stage or Cup and Saucer for long in this town the way things are.

They help me feel like home here. Even for people without Eastern European ancestry, these businesses add a lot to the area's character and I hope they persevere. <br /><br />Maybe we should take a page from Emmmmmmpire Biscuit and market Stage to drunks? How about: "Have some varenyky / pierogi while hangover. It's worked in Eastern Europe for centuries!"
