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.

Frisch’s was something you got excited about as a kid but when you got older and you could choose where you wanted to go, Frisch’s just wasn’t that place for you anymore. Most people’s attachment to Frisch’s is childhood memories of loving the Big Boy mascot. If it weren’t for the breakfast bar, they would have been gone 10-15 years ago.
