How common is this sort of re-launch?

Totally agreed but gotta say Ive never lived in a city where my wife and I have enjoyed our dates more. There seems to be literally no end to the number of world-class coffee shops, breweries, brick oven pizza joints, sushi restaurants and

Agreed, would be easier to agree that they're harmless enough if the energy use aspect had been addressed. But also isn't it a little crazy to think about how many unestablished / small-time artists are dropping $50~$150 on m
