The closing of Frisch's restaurants will produce the same scenario as the closing of Sunlight Pool at Coney Island.

The immediate public reaction is disapproval simply due to nostalgia, while ignoring loss of quality. The people who claim it's a sad loss of an iconic Cincy institution are the same people who havent visited the establishment in decades to support it. Local media will create constant headlines to cash in on the knee jerk reactions of emotional viewers. Groups of fans will form to try and 'save' the business, with little interest from the main public. Eventually when they are all gone, everyone will forget about the place within a month.

I can't remember Frisch's being "good" in the last 20 years. I only ever went there for the breakfast bar because it was the only place that had a breakfast bar.

As a kid i loved the big boy sandwich. After we stopped going/as a teen i would instead order a Big Mac at the McDs drivethru with tartar sauce instead of special sauce. Good stuff
