"That is why they put the buzzer on that door," Savarro said, nodding to the front entrance. "I knew every crackhead on that street. I wouldn't let them in." They're less than enthusiastic about the return of the cheap-beer-and-a-shot crowd who occupy low-rent apartments and tiny, rundown homes in the immediate area. "We are going after the professionals downtown; we are going after the hipsters downtown," Lance Johns said. "We are keeping the old style here, but we don't want the old clientele." I hope the new investors make back their money and the Atomic enjoys a rebirth.
