Not that losing a special place doesn't suck but how many people now lamenting actually patronized the place?
There was a documentary up here on the closing of Cody's Books in Berkeley and on the last night the store was packed with people crying and saying they shopped there all the time and how important the store was to the community. Then the owner talks to the camera and says (paraphraising) "bull, if half the people who said they shopped here every week did we wouldn't be closing."
