I noticed yesterday Versus, the new gaming place on Gay St. is packed up an gone. I wonder why, they seemed to be doing OK. This seems to be a bad time for start-ups anywhere in town. I noticed a few small businesses by Ftn. City Park have recently closed. But the other night the Old City was actually packed, for no special reason, maybe a sign our economy is not a total disaster.
