Key points
  • in Pinckney, MI (who famously told us about a Russian military trade show) writes: Great work on documenting the demise of a once great institution, Hooters.
  • 📰 Screencaps Page: 👉 Read the latest Screencaps • Bo T in AZ checks in: I've been monitoring the demise of Hootera via Screencaps but the closure of the Aurora CO store hit close to home (literally).
  • I would travel out to Colorado Springs for business often, many times teaching classes about space warfare (back when we couldn't say that term in public) to junior active duty and civilians before Space Force was a thing.

Talking to some of the students, a not insignificant number of them basically said instead of going to the bar with their comrades in arms, they were just getting 12 packs and hanging out in the hotel rooms playing video games.

Additional details
  • Part of me thinks a significant part of the problem is that titillation is so freely available thanks to the internet (and frankly how a lot of young women dress in public now) that the whole "forbidden fruit" aspect of the breastaurant is just gone.
  • Wings and beer before the shuttle in the restaurant then wings and beer on the shuttle served by one of the waitresses.
  • Sophie, 30, gets that the WNBA Mean Girls are busy catering to the angry purple-haired lesbians.
  • The teaching facility was off base on the north side of town, and the AF would put everyone up in an Embassy Suites five minutes from the facility.
  • Even in the most testosterone sense setting (US active duty men with unspent per diem money), Hooters wasn't enough to get them off their couch.
