Reply to comment by ebbycalvinlaloosh in Is there any sort of tiki subculture in the Philadelphia area ? Not seeing much of any tiki bars on a Google search by CVM525

It’s not false to say a lot of talent left the industry in the city. I know people that moved, people that died, people that got into sales or real estate, people who cut their hours back, people who aren’t as passionate as they used to be. I’m not saying there’s still not talent here or that others didn’t step up but dude come on have some self awareness, the industry lost people.

Yeah. I’m one of them, lol. Maybe I’m just looking at a close circle. But I do feel like a lot of the creative leaders behind the bar stuck it out and are still running programs here.
