They've made some really big mistakes, bad business decisions, and most likely dealt serious blows to themselves. Chicago, Beverly Hills, Vegas, Frisco... I could go on and on, but I'm sure most of the TCers following the TV threads already know and see the wishy-wash patterns. I'm glad one is opening up in Downtown L.A. soon, but to be frank about it, it just isn't going to "replace" Beverly Hills. It will be an "alternative" destination.
