I'm having my reception at TV's in Emeryville so I hesitated to open this in case it was some kind of expose on the hidden evils of TV. Panic over, thank god! "The restaurant business has, unfortunately, come under the control of the Real Estate business" - well said, although incredibly sad and true. I understand the desire to have something like TV's in every town but I too worry that it would become watered down, over marketed and turned into a shadow of its former glory. It's bad enough when people tear down history (see what's happenning to CBGB's) - it's worse when people ruin the history through mass marketization (forgive me, I know it's not a word). Sometimes quality means not having one in every town :wink: Ryukyu, where are you located?
