pretty close, yes. so? you don't stop by a place if there's not a crowd?
especially since i said i would definitely be there, and i was, for 5

there is never anyone out on the streets, other than on weekends, and even
then, only in select areas. but what is the big deal? bars like 31st st
pub and gooski's and smiling moose don't rely on random walkup. they are a
destination,either within a neighborhood or across neighborhoods. neither
does ceremony at the upstage. it is a destination too, on which people
converge.

you need to be one of the first not one of the last, and have some vision.
you  could buy (and even live in) a whole building on penn for half what
 it would cost to even *open* a business in an overdeveloped area.
