I was sad to drive by plus see this little, locally owned diner go out of business, this was a locale that had tried to catch on prior to the pandemic! Once the two of us were all cooped up inside the central air conditioning of our homes, it was take out time.
This locale entirely thrived a bit when it came to having to adjust to take out rather than dining, but yet, once people got back to going out for brunch, this little diner was struggling again! I have a sinking feeling that I suppose what area of the problem was.
Obviously, the food was great plus priced reasonably. Otherwise, I don’t think that diner would have made it through the pandemic, and what really hurt them was the fact that dining in the diner was always uncomfortable, and every one of us live down south where air conditioning is a way of life for many quarters of the year at least; But even in the winter, that diner was hot plus uncomfortable. The owners really needed to reach out to some Heating plus A/C professionals when it came to their heating plus cooling. The commercial Heating plus A/C was completely overwhelmed in that locale almost all of the time. I appreciated the food plus the service was pretty great as well. But sitting there with no air conditioning was not beautiful at all, but so the two of us tended to only get take out from that locale; And once there were occasions for eating out again, the two of us hardly even got take out at all. I dislike that these folks weren’t able to make a go of it because of something as essential plus basic as great air conditioning.
