I know of several bars in my old home town of Endicott NY that have gone out of business since the smoking ban went into effect. Only took 2 months for one of them to suffer such a loss of business that they had to shut down. Others are on the brink, and I know of at least 3 that will not make it through the end of the year.

I know of several bars in my old home town of Endicott NY Endicott? That's Camille Paglia's hometown. I've never been there, but she mentions it frequently in her writings. It's a fairly blue collar place if I remember.
I mention that because its the blue collar gin mills in the outer boroughs that have been hit the hardest here. The Yuppies in their co-ed "lounges" in Manhattan don't seem to care.
