And now Banker’s Hill Bar & Restaurant is going into “hibernating” mode; yet another sad page in the ongoing business rollercoaster saga.
SD county just escaped today by 0.1 points from dropping back into Tier Worst, which would have shut down indoor dining (and lots of other stuff) all over the county: North, Central, South, Inland. Everywhere. I think that others would quickly follow Tiger! Tiger! and Bankers Hill B&R. The overall list of lost loves just keeps getting longer.
That tiny increment between a 6.9 and a 7.0 “score” is all that kept the candle lit for hundreds of businesses, including restaurants that keep trying to survive. That’s the way step-functions work: there are no gradations. Changes across fixed thresholds from this step to the next or backwards to the last – they’re “step function” changes; there’s no in between. Businesses are either open at this level or closed at that level.
