you misunderstood me martiki.....I'm not talking about the fate of the old location of traders vics...this is far more sinister...I'm talking about a new trader vics opening in chicago at an entirely new location..the owners of said sports bar are the financial backers and running the show from what I gather... I don't believe trader vics will be involved on any level save the name itself......and what's worse is that the new owners are modeling the place after a succesful formula for upscale bowling alley/cocktail lounges which is the current trend now......(i.e lucky strike and the 10 pin, which was formerly called lucky strike) which is not to say that the new traders will have a bowling alley...i doubt it, but the crowd they seem to be seeking are the ones who usually spoil a good time for most clubs and bars....those people might as well walk around with a huge dollar sign printed on them whereever they go cause it seems that's all they are good for...making other people money. ....an endless herd of cash generating zombies.....outside of that they seem to contribute little in the way of aesthetic or cultural appreciation for anything. .....i'll get the details on sunday from the paper....
