I got the joke and laughed. I’m old enough to get sarcasm.

Jeez, I misread. People aren't very kind on this forum are they.

It's not like anyone took your head off.

Ya'll are a sassy bunch

People tend to think of midwesterners as being a fairly friendly bunch, right? Little do they know, however, that we've only been channeling our hatered into these online forums all this time!

It was just a gentle joke back. I’ve found younger people today have a hard time with sarcasm. They take it as literal. Old people like me seem to appreciate and understand a gentle bite more easily. My apologizes if you didn’t appreciate the joke.

I was making a Marie Antoinette joke - you know... off with her head/no one took your head off?

Tough room.

It was kind of a dull joke.

Karen Paisley, artistic director of the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre, told the opening-night audience of “The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail” in her pre-show remarks that the nonprofit theater had closed on the purchase of the historic Warwick Theatre.

The venue was built in 1912 as a movie theater and is on the east side of Main Street between 39th Street and Westport Road.

Warwick Theater history:

I had real hope for the Warwick Theater when Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre purchased it, but after reading the article--in the link below--I have real concerns that they can even continue to maintain the building long-term.

“It was in the middle of all this fundraising for the Warwick,” White says, “and from my perspective, it was like, ‘Why are you purchasing a theater when you can’t pay your staff?’”

McCoys closing?

Sailor Jack's has closed as well. Aren't they the restaurant group?

Maybe this is planned move for a new concept in both spaces. I don't know what kind of concept. Everything has been has been done and we kind of have an oversaturation on most concepts

Didn't SJ's just open several months ago?

They opened in May I believe.

The boycott worked

Yeah McCoy's supposed to close I believe end of the month. I wonder if Beer Kitchen and Char Bar are affected since they're all owned by the same group? Who knows, maybe someone bought the lots and is planning a mixed use tower on the spot LOL

It doesn’t look like Char Bar or Beer Kitchen are affected because they said gift certificates could continue to be used at those restaurants.

Hate to lose McCoy's. I think their food stayed solid for their entire run. The last meal I had there was excellent. Not saying there weren't some bad ones in there too, but overall they seemed to maintain. I think their beer game turned a bit south after their brewer left, but they could still put out the standards.

I get that there is a beer boom going on, but there really isn't a brew-pub boom. Greenroom, Martin City and Brewery Emperial are the local ones I can think of now.
