COVID wasn't the problem, government lies about it were. :smokin:

Sometimes restaurants close when their landlord in going to increase the cost of their next lease.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Back in the day we visited friends at Loras and partied on Rush Street.  They always called it that.  Later, after we all got jobs it was a standing joke when we went to eat there.

Rush Street. Back in the early 90's before it went so upscale, that place was straight up FUN. Took one of my classmates up there, he'd never been in a big city hardly, he flipped out on how many people there were (and all the hot chicks of course).
