where i live out in the country, they opened a 5 guys right off the interstate exit ramp.  perfect location one would think.  it lasted less than a year due to the locals thinking it was crap.  the space is now a mexican restaurant and does excellent business.

I know that exit - I often stop there on my way down to Blacksburg.  I was really surprised when I saw it had closed.

I think the problem there is they were competing with all the other fast food chain restaurants.

There's another one about 60 miles down the road that seems to do pretty well.

Andrew Koenig's Body Found in Vancouver Park

We are just starting to enter the season for manic depressive suicides so expect to see a few more of these, though most probably won't be anyone with a high enough public profile to make it to this thread. Would be great if it's because it just isn't happening but, sadly, that's just not the norm.

Would be great if it's because it just isn't happening but, sadly, that's just not the norm.

Back in the day, I watched Growing Pains with religious fervor. Sure, Kirk Cameron was God to most, but back then I told myself, "This guy's the guy to watch out for. This guy is going to be huge. This guy is going to star in multiple Scorcese films. This guy is going to date exotic foreign models. This guy is going to be a spokesperson for the Green movement. This guy is going to be KING OF THE WORLD!"

But alas, it never came to be.

Do you mean it would be great if knowledge about depression were made more public? If so, I agree. Poor Andrew and his parents.

Actually, I meant that, hopefully, no more suicides. But getting the knowledge out there is good too.

Contrary to popular belief, it's usually the manic depressives (they swing both ways on the mood scales), not the uni-polar depressives, who end up commiting suicide. Don't know a thing about Andrew's case. Don't even know if he was a manic depressive but I bet you he was. Though I remember the name, I can't even remember the tv show! (Must have aired during one of my long bouts of ignoring tv. Or maybe I just didn't like the show.)

For friends and family members of manic depressives: Be especially cognizant when they are about ready to dip out of their manic stages. That's when they tend to be the most suicide prone.

* No, I am not a manic depressive. I just had some excellent training on the subject but, also, I am not a professional; so, take this info as you will.

the internet killed the musical star.  then it killed the hard working vhs video store owner.  next it will kill the movie industry and television hollywood equation in one final swoop . . . but not before it kills little babies.  die, non electronic toy, die.
