My major concern has to do with a total lack of lavatory facilities. In time of need I asked an employee where the restrooms were located. The answer was totally unacceptable as I was told that the only available facility was the public restroom on the far side of the former movie theater. I estimate that the distance between Blondies and that facility is about 1/4 mile. That folks is absurd! How can anyone possibly create a Bar like Blondies without a more rational plan for a restroom facility. As for me this is an intolerable situation, thus I will not return. How can anyone be expected to walk that far without any cover from the elements in time of need. Not me!
At my age and condition anything more than 100 feet could turn into a nasty sithuation. Most of the time I've got plenty of notice, most of the time.
