re: Walk On's moving into old Mugshots space in Towne Center

It started as a Champp's then it became Mugshots. So this will be the third restaurant that has occupied that location. I wonder if this will hurt pelican house business?

I think this is the fourth sports bar to occupy that location in the ten years or so that Towne Center has been open. Could it be that the demographics are just not there to support a sports bar?

Pretty much, and why would I pick them over Dempseys?

Truth is, its not a sports bar area. Just take a look at the restaurants in the vicinity, and it's pretty clear. Mugshots sucked, which only made it that much worse. Walk On's is admittedly much better, but still pretty adequate food when you get down to it. I just don't see the draw in that area when you have so many better choices to pick from, but I suppose they'll pick up where Mugsies left off. I feel the same way about Portico moving to Southdowns next to that kind of food. Either they're drinking their own koolaid or they think Dreams really do come true.
