Doesn't seem like the Lofts is having any problem finding renters for those high rent apartments. There are people who will rent them.
Apparently Katie Bell's wasn't making enough money to keep the doors open. It's called profit and loss, when it's all loss no business will be able to keep it's doors open. No, having a liquor license will not guarantee the success of a bar, if it did there would be a bar on every street corner.
