Third paragraph, “ put a time limit and a $ minimum on each table. That caused the up roar, and yes I will say it the older residents to be.
They were promised (not really) a private club, by old man Swartz, for free, and that’s what they expected.

My guess is the older residents once minimums were set, came, did the I-will show them, sit at this table have two cokes, and keep my developer given right alive. Even if they don’t make a profit, they have plenty of money, and will never close KBs.

The younger crowd, just gave up and went elsewhere, after all, who cares if it was residents only, KBs was on the path of self resident destruction, and we could find other places. I rarely use the word “entitled”, but that was the reason of the start of the demise of KBs.
