Thank each and every person who pushed the indefinite shutdown stance out of fear.
Or their inability to jump on PPP because all of the usual fat cats earmarked it first. You know, typical government style. Get angry at the right shite.

Thanks US citizens and politicians.

I’m angry at every single person from the president on down to the basic US citizen who thought that an economic shutdown would be the best way to manage this situation.
They are all to blame.

Sadly they won't be the last one either. I guess being able to open at limited capacity tomorrow wasn't enough. That's a pretty big space and likely fairly expensive.

Interesting to see what replaces that spot on Perkins road. I can’t see that property being cheap to rent.
I hear hobo camps are really taking off right now.

People that would shed their civil liberties and their freedoms at the drop of a hat in the name of the public safety.
Useless fools.

You think tourists are going to the rumhouse

frick this stupid shite. I wish I could punch every single person in the face who is in favor of staying home.

Well that sucks. They’re brunch was always really good and the outdoor area was a nice place to have a drink.

Can someone find the rum punch recipe?
I think this goes to show the margins these places run on.

The MD that raised the first concerns about the virus was silenced by the Chinese version of the KGB. He later died.
This could have been contained, but they turned the other eye.

Based on my personal experience they were struggling a bit even before the shutdown. For the first few years it seemed damn near impossible to get it there on the weekend. However, the last few times my family and I ate there in the 6 months or so prior to the shutdown the crowd was about 30% or so of it's peak.
I wonder if the Superior Grill on Highland was the reason it was close to the edge and the shutdown just finished it off? For the average Joe the Rum House was just "Mexican restaurant" that was a good place to have drinks. With Superior just a mile or two away straight down Kenilworth Parkway Rum House's crowd probably left and went there

I'm at this point as well.
Some old lady on my councilman's facebook page yesterday set me off. The updated numbers were posted for the day and she responded that "we still haven't flattened the curve and if we don't stay home a little longer, the second wave is going to be worse than the first one".

They are always busy when I went / tried to go there. That's a shocker.
Most business cannot sustain a 2 month shutdown. Especially ones that haven’t paid off their mortgage or are in prime locations.
