Why buy the meal and drinks when you can have a very inexpensive evening out.

Would have been very easy to experiment by putting in a minimum purchase but for some reason they were happy to let it fail.

Exactly - the same as my hypothesis which is not tied to the drinking water theory. But have you tested your null hypothesis theory. I have !

Stop assuming.

They did, as i recall, insist on patrons buying seperate tickets for the shows, and for a bit of time had a minimum. Did not work.

And keep in mind this is all against the backdrop of converting The Church on the Square into a theater right across the street at the same time. Also, I believe this may have been about the time they first purchased the land south of 466 which opened the flood gates for going south.

What you are saying was "easy" ignores a lot of happenings in the same time frame, along with ignoring the lack of customers.

But, they did experiment....did not work

I lived within walking distance of KB's for 5 plus years. I have many hours logged into KB's over the years. What many are claiming as the downfall (the place was full of water drinkers) is simply not true in my live experience. The majority of the time the kitchen staff could not keep up with demand. Are your claims first hand or hearsay ?

Anyone else remember the Chula Vista Rec Centre Sunday Brunch and the Silver Lake Club ?? We've been in TV since 1999 - 3 years renting then bought in CC Hills and boy Oh boy have we lost some stuff ..I also loved the Brewery in SS ...the 5 oz sampler was great - Main St. Bistro was also a fun place to go !! the list goes on !! stand by for more closures and more apartments.

We went to the new Mac's comedy club first night at Sumter. They had a ticket price and a minimum purchase. The food was marginal. Service was worse. BUT the comedy was 5 Star's all the way.

This was no substitute for KB

The Spanish Springs Brewery was a definitive thumbs up.

Then make sure you stop at the Bichara Bakery.

I miss KB too. Always felt special. I loved the singing servers.

Lots of people miss Katie Belle’s and the very good restaurant. I’m guessing that the Developer had plans to convert that space to apartments for a long time and they didn’t want to be in the restaurant business. A definite “take away” from residents, particularly those of us who have been here awhile.

[Aviator1211]

Has anyone approached the developer with a proposal to support *some* apartments downtown in exchange for restoring the *original* KB? I would volunteer to teach swing dance lessons!

[rustyp]

Approach ? Who ? How ? Anyone remember when we were sent the resident's survey from the developers once per year and the results were actually tallied up and published ? Didn't that turn into a suggestion box at the mail stations run by residents not the developer. Did I not just read those suggestions boxes have now been removed ? Slowly I turn, inch by inch, step by step.

More than KB’s, I miss actually going into the Clubhouse at Hacienda Hills when golfing there. When golfing at a Championship course it is nice to be able to check in at a clubhouse, with nice restrooms and golfing accessories available, rather than going to a starter shack like your playing an executive course. I also miss being able to go into the bar to have a couple beers with fellow golfers after the round. At least golfers don’t YET have to look at a monstrosity multi story rental apartment complex : (
