Cafe Rendezvous out, Vintij in

As long as we can see and be seen we exist.

Is it just me, or can Seaside not stay out of its own way sometimes. It's still a great place, and the only place we ever vacation, but some of the changes and decisions over the years don't make much sense to me.

It depends on the decision - there is often quite a bit more to the story/balance sheet that we don't know, so what seems odd may be logical.

Of course, I probably shouldn't comment, as I don't understand the logic of my own actions most of the time.

Exactly correct! I helped Jean-Noel with his equipment packages from when he had the coffee/wine bar back in the art area. There was no financial problem with CR. He just ended up on the wrong side of the Seaside establishment. Vintij is nice and a good wine bar, but I doubt they will ever be able to capture the excitement Jean and Wendy brought to the Seaside area. Moved a little too fast and loud for the decision makers, I suppose.

Bad move because a lot of the yearly visitors went to see and join JN, not for the wine. He brought a certain "wildness" and fun to an otherwise boring Seaside nightlife. But they still have the Pearl shop.

Bad move, Mr Davis. We all have our egos with which we need to learn to deal.
