Belly up, fired, and retired

AMZ stock +65% YTD

Yes a lot of people are out of work, but big-box retailers are surely benefiting vs small business

Fully aware of Amazon stock going up

Doesn’t address what I said

But I am bored


Ok let small businesses crumble and people lose jobs and it will benefit Amazon per Sidehatch

let's be clear, I'm not advocating that…

I also assume that they're waiting on the individual payments until right before the election…so another month's worth of struggling.

Not sure we have a thread for this…but here we go

Lukashenko announced that Belarus is closing the border with Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine.

Summers Restaurant Closing Permanently After 38 Years

Man that blows chunks…they were just getting ready to celebrate their 10yr anny :(

It’s a big loss even though it wasn’t a room designed for live music..it’s obviously a huge loss for the DC dance club community

I would expect Will Eastman to reenter the business if we can ever have live shows / DJs again

I always thought IMP would probably prefer to have their own place (instead of renting) for up and coming acts (or acts on the way down)…so I could have seen them opening up another club

At this point though it’s unclear what will happen… what if live music is banned until 2022??? 

I worry about the Black Cat…but for a lot of places - if you don’t own your space-I would encourage them to close and reopen when times improve.. should the role of government be to prop up these companies for potentially years? It’s a tough situation..do you want to wait til Biden is inaugurated hoping for help? Another 4-5 months til you see $?

This. I worry about ALL of them but this one in particular.

Really sucks about U Street.

Ditto. Sorry about U St Music Hall but my life will go on. Black Cat ceasing to exist altogether will feel like a piece of me died.

shit…grainville moore's didn't make it either

:(

That was my pre-show venue.  I recognize there are other decent places on the street but this was the one I really liked.

GM was a great place, I would go just for the beers and fries/mussels on many occasions
Other than the blowtel that was one of my only H st destinations

I avoid H St like the plague…people who go there enjoy what? Crime? Being hassled by beggars? Nightmare finding a safe spot to park?


I have heard many good things about GM’s over the years


But if I wanted mussels and wine or beer I’d go to Bistrot du Coin … that’s my place


I just never got the H St thing

It sounds like you haven't gone to H Street in 10 years. Someone who hasn't been to the 9:30 Club in 20 years could make the same argument about that area.
