Nothing is meant to last forever. Nothing. Doesn’t matter if this hot dog place was there a year or since 1776, if business dries up that sucks but that’s the nature of things and shit happens. Placing blame on any particular thing might feel good or justified but i’d say maybe it comes down to how they were running their business. If you paint your business into a corner or niche don’t be surprised that you’ll be affected when things change and dollars stop coming in.
Millennials or any other generation also don’t owe anything to established businesses.
As already stated, it doesn’t appear that the business owners blamed Millennials (or anyone else) for anything. This sign was posted by a third party, presumably a weiner-lover who would have complained if Millennials had showed up while they trying to enjoy their lunch anyway.
I haven’t given up on that. I really want to get into it once I find work again. I will absolutely be taking you up on your offer of advice when that time comes.
Oh, protip- if you find any Old Tub bourbon, buy it. 23$ for house recipe of Beam distillers and 100 proof. Its good stuff but hard to find.
Although, the shop owner didn’t put up the sign, according to the linked article.
Yanko said there’s no need to put any blame on any group for the hot dog shop closing.
He said the owners just decided it was time.
“The family was ready to retire. We knew they were leaving the neighborhood. We we’re sad about them leaving the neighborhood. It was the right thing to do for their family," he added.
Yanko said while it broke his heart to see another business in the neighborhood close, he stays hopeful the area will bounce back.
“As businesses close, there are new businesses opening. There’s new condos and apartments are going up everywhere on every corner here,” said Yanko.
There’s a guy where I work who sometimes gets himself worked up over (name your issue). The running joke (because how he comes across) is that he always seems to be shouting “and you’re going to get the business end of my buggy whip, young man!”
This 100-plus-year-old hot dog operation continues on, though unfortunately built new digs a few years back - next time your in the tri-state (that’s, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa) area, grab a dog.
Horse buggies faded as living became more dense. You need food and hopefully a place to exercise the horse. On a farm, it was easy, but the shift to city life made it hard. Horse buggies became too expensive.
Public transit took over, and then superseded by cars as those became cheap (and less upkeep than horses). Cities took over bus companies as demand lessened, because people without cars needed a way to get around.
Lots of houses or apartments had no place for horses, hence no place to park a car.
What I’m getting from this is that Millenials are actually the assassin generation.
They just kill and kill, and just won’t stop with your favorite place to shove a tube shaped bit of meat into your mouth. They won’t stop until everything you love is dead!
(if anyone makes a movie of this, I get residuals!)
