Friday Update
Two recent items of note:
1) I mentioned that I was fond of cheesy garlic chicken but due to a discontinued product I would have to prepare it in a new way. I tried that new way the other night. It was not very good and did not taste at all like the original. I'm back to the drawing board.
2) I went into the office the other day. Our current office building has a very nice but very large cafeteria behind the main building and a very large and empty first floor lobby. Since the pandemic, the cafeteria has been closed - not enough people in the building to support it. Apparently in an attempt to provide an amenity and thus retain tenants, the building has put up architectural renderings of a bar they plan to build in the lobby.
2021 has not been good for the commercial real estate business and 2022 is not looking any better. Landlords are trying to retain tenants and at least some of those tenants are trying to entice people to come in. Welcome to the new normal.
