went to the downtown Hooters tonight. supposedly it is scheduled to close this sunday due to lack of business...which isn't surprising. although it's located only a block from the baseball stadium, it has to compete with a crapload of other bars in the same vicinity; i bet business is only good when the Rockies play.
the really sad fact regarding its closing is that it is the lowest earning (i.e., slowest) Hooters in the whole country. now that's sad! there were three servers and a bartender on tonight when one of each would have sufficed.
ya know, i forgot to mention the fact that this Hooters also doesn't serve hard liquor - only beer and wine. you think that may be a factor? they's some dumb decision makers there...
so...must find another place for wings. and really, this location was kinda going downhill with their consistency anyway. in addition to the overall iffy-ness, i won't miss paying for parking! sure, Hizzenlooper (new mayor for you non-Denverites) did lower the prices of metered parking to $1 per hour (from $1.50), but it's still enforced until 10PM. really, how many cities with burgeoning downtowns have metered parking after 6PM? it's no better when they double or triple the parking prices in the lots for sporting events, weekends, or special occasions. last week, when everyone was gearing up for the Parade of Lights, i saw some cheap lots that are usually $3 (all night after 6PM) going for $8 and $10. fuckin' vultures... we are not a country of capitalists, rather one of opportunists and back stabbers!
