This is the reality:
In later years, the neighborhood deteriorated with the Sobchiks' health, and the bar became known as a rough dive surrounded by drug deals and prostitution.
"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."

"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.
