Reminds me of all of the needless overdevelopment here in NYC. I may be living in Los Angeles for a month this summer and I was really looking forward to going to the TV lounge a few times at least. I was there last October, and although I missed the REAL TV's restaurant (that I got to visit once around 1994) I was still glad they had SOMETHING there. Is it possible that Trader Vic's could set up shop somewhere else in LA? It seems like there's a good market there for them and it's not like they're closing this location due to bad business. Does anybody know when they are slated to close it....AGAIN! Is it just me or are all of these 'developers', no matter where they choose to crap out their condos around the country, aren't they just sucking all the fun and life out of these towns and cities? Other than the obvious benefits to those who can afford to build and buy these things, what the hell is so great about high-priced residential property and the 'economies' the spawn? Seems to me all it does is f*ck over the community, bulldoze property that should be landmarked, and spoil the landscape with alot of ugly structures that were just farted out in a hurry by some millionaire board of directors. I would say that this is really starting to piss me off...but it already has!! Is the general public interested in anything except needless consumption and prick waving? Goddam..the higher the prices go, the lower the bar is set for life as we know/knew it.
