Fight the buracarcy (sp)! Here's a story we all have seen. Remember that favorite Restaurant or Bar that you used to go to, remember how it was the just an awesome place, everybody was cool there, the food was excellent, the people, even the waiters were happy. Remember that food joint, I do. Remember how they got to be popular, and getting in was harder and harder to do, but you always could. You knew the right times to go to get in easy, and if you went at the popular times it was okay, because hanging out in the became part of the experience. There was the talk in the line, and the talk at the table, both different. The place was smaller than it should be, but it was still the same. Here's the rub, Remember when seeing all this, the owner decided to expand and renovate the place in order to handle the all the people. Yup I do, and more than one place too. The construction goes up and things are a hassle for months. They finish and the place is almost like you never were there before. New menus with the same food. New atmosphere. The clumsy loud eating area where you used to be able to burp without causing other tables grief, is now a larger more open area, where instead of the loudness of talking, enters in the sounds of clinking forks on ceramic. The food is the same but the experience is different, later you feel the food isn't the same. In the end, the NEW restaurant is not the same, not for you, the staff is more distant. You still go, but you know, you are going to remember, not really experience, but you get a fully belly in the process. Some restaurants expand well, but the others, and some places I remember as a kid expand into blandness. I recognize patterns fairly well, I hope you liked this story, everyone has one, at least that is what I believe. So concludes this tangent of creative writing……… ed
