Has anyone else checked out the new Denney's downtown? I would rather see local businesses whenever possible, but it is nice to see something up and running at that location. The staff is very well-trained and courteous, I hope that lasts, chain restaurants are usually good when they first open, but these people are to be commended for their professionalism. Also,it seems like many of the employees are from the lower economic rung of the blue collar class, and I don't mean that in a demeaning way, and they seem happy to have their jobs. I hope that they are able to keep up a 24 hour presence, with their proximity to the police station being a plus. Presumably Union College security will swing by there from time to time. People who work non-traditional hours need a place that is open. It also makes a place to go for college students who aren't into bars (there are a few), and a convenient spot for families of college students to spend money when they visit. A positive development. |
