Thank you! I suppose the best news in all of this is the Blade is still publishing.

Seemed dubious to me that a place in Silver Lake would have to close due to the fires.

Sure, but it seems they made a reasonable decision to close a business that wasn’t working/they didn’t want to operate anymore.

Really interesting article, and it seemed really well-balanced (I say this as someone w/ no inside info about this specific situation and no knowledge about running a restaurant/bar, aside from what’s posted here).

Aside from the cashflow issues, I think the main issue is that no one place/object/person/whatever can be all things to all people, esp when we’re talking about a very vulnerable group/groups.

Just my $0.02.
