My current VFW is 100 years old and has been shuttered since early march.

It may never recover and is historic.

The Chinese flu will enable the CCP to buy up the entire world for pennies on the dollar.

It’s almost as if it was a biological weapon and we lost the first biological war.

So it survived the plague of 1625, and the Great Plague of 1665, but couldn’t survive Covid19?

Owned by St. John’s College. I wonder what kind of endowment they have. I guess it’s nothing like Harvard’s, but I wonder why they won’t use any of it to keep a historic building and business going till this clears up. Are they as stingy as Harvard?

The building isn’t going anywhere. Can’t they mothball it until things get back to normal?

“It has no TV, it has no jukebox, it has no music. It’s a place where people come to talk to each other, to enjoy the traditional, historic surroundings. Generations of people have done that, students, townspeople, people from afar,” he said.

The reason American bars have loud horrible music is studies show people having conversations drink LESS - cutting into profits.

Similar to restaurants happy with the 'no smoking' rules of the 80's because smoker tables don't turn over as fast...

And last, in the 60's some grocery stores came up with the idea of playing offensive music to stop lingering. It was 'build larger stores or move the people out quicker'... luckily that one didn't last.
