I feel like the eagle leather bars have always gone through a period of trouble with owners trying to find the right way to keep it going or where it needs to move or ownership changes. That story sounds all too familiar. I would imagine that two leather bars can exist in the same city or area. But parking should definitely always be a priority. Slammer 1,2,3 was always fun in ft lauderdale and so was the clubhouse 2. If places like that can survive I think overall the bars and seediness or uninhibited aspect of bars will also live. Or at least I am hopeful they will. Quote
