Nasty Chippewa

After being up early to go to Oakville to be a sponsor for a confimation I just came home & crashed hard for about 6 hours. After waking up around 10:30 I had a text message from my CL friend asking to "save" her because she was ropped into going out to Chippewa from some of her friends. She said she was @ Brinks and I ended up joining her. I actually can deal with that place, but to be honest I'm really just trying to "ghost hunt" the real spirit of the place. I vaguely remember the joint as a legendary "old man bar."

But the owners I think the same people that own Coulter Bay decided to gentrify the place as every other owner did on Chippewa & turn it into Brinks.

Well all I can say is that from what I remember from the way the place was like when Chippewa first started to form into the place that it is today, their business is kind of the same. The cheesy music & the sparse crowds as the night wears on. Sprucing the place up I don't think paid off, IMHO. The location is still the same, Chippewa famous for drunken frat boys & "tiarra " wanna be Paris & Britney girls spending their Daddy's Money looking to hook up with some "badass."

Here is some visual evidence that the investment just didn't pan out.

I know they serve food here, but I just don't think I would spend the money to eat when the bathrooms look like that, as one old rule says. All I can say is I must be getting old because I just can't stand the people on the Chip Strip.

On a unrelated note I noticed that "Big Shots" is dark. I wonder when happened to that place? From my old job I knew the owner & he actually was a really nice guy. Then again I knew him from my old job & that opens up another can of worms...:-/
