I agree with the argument in theory, but the problem is that they're not changing the Catacombs to change with the times. Their customers aren't asking for change. Their current clientele is a dive bar clientele. No one wants the Catacombs as an upscale place except the Boulderado management, who feel that the character of the Catacombs is "beneath" them. Of course it is. Literally. That's part of the beauty of it. They're trying to fix what's not broken, and that's a philosophy that drives me nutty.

Hey Vikki, thanks for the comment and thanks for starting the facebook group "Keep the Catacombs Lowbrow". I agree with you about the character of the catacombs, what makes it the king of dive bars it the irony you allude to when you say "who feel that the character of the Catacombs is "beneath" them. Of course it is. Literally. That's part of the beauty of it." And I think that Boulder could use more dive bars really, I felt the makeover the catacombs got about 2 years ago made it "too nice" well maybe people will start going to the 'combs and cause the management to change their mind, particularly in the economic climate we're in now, it seems you'd want to keep a dive bar if you already had one . . .

Wem soll ich wu"nschen Frohe Ostern?

Allen eigentlich die diesem Forum lesen und schreiben Vielleicht Auch.

Na gut, es gibt ein Paar Vielleicht Ausnahme.

Pelzlose Dauergru"nhinterdenohrenhasen, die schnell Feierabend gemacht haben, weil sie sich selbst ertragen nicht mehr und leben wohl jetzt konnten in der Grube.

Wie immer ... AUCH

Hort auf, das zu Ostern oder den Hunden und Katzen Osterhasenohrenprothesen kommerzialisieren anzukleben.

Geliebte und der Nachbar Hobbyja"ger Schiesser drauf sonst ko"nnte.

So schreibt hier im Forum und ab und zu was wrong.

Das ist keine Internet www.adseu.net
