Morning Brew: August 27th (Or do you like it when I do subtitles instead of the date?)

maybe they should direct their attention to those using establishments to sell drugs and sleep with minors.

While I agree with the Biltmore's owner Zak, I must admit that his campaign will not likely get very far. I read his message on Facebook last week and his argument was largely "those bastards" and "nobody did this to me in Calgary".

You're not in Calgary buddy. Get over yourself and learn a little bit about the culture here. It sucks but nobody here wants to hear about how Calgary is super awesome because we just don't care that much about what is over them hills. We care about rain and cold dry humour. Check the cowboy attitude at the door and maybe city counsellors will listen to you.

I heard that podcast, funny stuff.

It's this exact attitude that accomplishes NOTHING in this city. Yah, let's just let things slide and let the powers that be handle everything. I happen to be pretty ashamed that it has taken someone from another city to bring this bureaucratic bullshit to light. This exact thing has happened to venues in this city before (Sugar Refinery anyone?), but let's just hope that people raise their voices loud enough this time for the mainstream media to pick up on this. It's really great that people are blogging about the issue but it's simply not enough. If people keep sitting back we will lose another venue in this city for damn near no reason. And I bet that you, Ryan, are one of those people that would be bitching and moaning the second The Biltmore came tumbling down. If you do agree with Zak, then lend a hand instead of criticizing. Or maybe Zak should just shut up and learn about the "culture" in this city. The culture of apathy. Keep on not keepin' on, Ryan.

I liked the Biltmore better when you could get a $3.25 pint every day at 11:30 in the morning. Now all you get is hipster scum pissing (both boys AND girls) in the scholyard and $16.00 sixers of Kokanee.

Maybe it's the clientelle?

Or, skip it, but give amusing alt-text to the pics.
