I love old places like Tiki ti!
The owners are in the place working, so they know what's going on and care deeply
about the place and the customers.
Plus they know most of the customers so the place becomes one big family, and most of the
customers know each other so they too are friends now.

It's not as easy to go into a place where you know the owners and most of the regulars and be
a raging prick because you care what these people think of you and you like them too.

This is the hipster link, (I say hipster but mean here today gone tomorrow customer) they DON"T
care what you think, and don't want to get to know the regulars that they feel better than.
So the good one big happy family vibe is gone.

THIS is why I go to old places where the owner is in house and has been for years.
These are much more fun to go to and when they are gone that's it, not many places like
that left.
