New Years Eve '06/'07 will be, regrettably, our last night of operation. We'll abandon the property because we don't see much hope in becoming a hat store to retain our lease.

I can't speak for his personal views, which I have no idea as to what they are. I can say that he's an incredibly friendly person, at least through my own encounters with him.

'It keeps the derelicts away,' Ritter says. 'They think they're gonna get jumped by a bunch of rednecks if they come in here.'" Who else might fear being "jumped by a bunch of rednecks?" --["JasonOlshefsky"]

Most other bars I visit, even with nearly 100% white clientelle, don't give me that feeling. --["JasonOlshefsky"]
