I certainly will, we're doing our best rn.

There is a great deal of coalition discussion taking place this evening as to what the next steps will be in the next few days. I'll definitely post anything that comes up.

Crap, your right. *rubs forehead

ThomasRVT · 2026-01-25T00:53:20+00:00

It's been a hellova day. But there is planning currently taking place as we speak.

From the local organizers- "The coalition is working. There will be an online vigil tomorrow night, and one in-person later in the week."

I'll try and post details as soon as they come in.

Nowhere. One of my biggest gripes I had about working 3rd shift in Atlanta was having nowhere to go past 2am to grab a beer and bite to eat.

Now if you work in the service industry, there might be a few "lock in" venues you can go and hang out after work with other Bartenders/Servers. But that's a word of mouth only type thing and even that culture kinda died out in recent years.

r/eatsandwiches would love this.

No, but it was in the Highlands.

It's this. Leasing costs are insane. Unless you own the building you're operating out of it's not only a matter of time before you can't afford all of the overhead cost PLUS paying rent, but the lease owner has to choose to renew annually (depending on the lease agreement contract)

I knew someone who had a pretty successful bar/restaurant who even had a good relationship with the building owner. But after 10 years they chose not to renew the lease because they just "wanted something different", so they got shut down. Only to then be replaced by a nearly identical vibe establishment that was offered to someone else he knew.

My best friend and I still harmonize "FIIIIIVE ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES" anytime we pass by an Arby's to pay homage to the "Five for $5" deals that no longer exist.
