  Another reason I like to stay at Hotel Rizos.
  
  However, there is construction too at Hotel Rizos (woke me up at 8am).

  MisterWonderful, thanks for the pics. Sounds like an industry that needs more space to grow.

  I was there this past week and yest a ton of construction. I also was speaking with one of the waiters at Azul and he said they are planning on building a NEW Hong Kong on the next block. He said it was under construction and would be ready in 2021

  I had heard that too, about another HK. Apparently the company already owns the property. And that it won't be a replacement for HK, but another venue.

  The competition is heating up.
  
  Chicago Club and Adelita's Bar are both pushing to take business from HK (Bar Wars).
  
  HK's response more and better rooms at Cascadas and Rizos, and now a new club, all to the benefit of the TJ Mongers.
  
  A new club might aliviate some of the super crowding experienced during weekends at HK.

  Well, if HK is screwing up the longer and TLN sessions, yeah take business away.
  
  But what specifically are Chicago Club and Adelita's doing to take business away from HK? More BG's?

  Interesting, I can only find some info about the above song online. Saying it is just two chords alternated, D minor, D minor 7 ( always understood as flat 7 )
  
  One commentator called this a party song. I guess the idea is that it could go on indefinitely.
  
  D major scale has F and C sharped.
  
  So D minor is D F A.
  
  Then D minor 7 is D F A C.
  
  The way they show the chord fingering diagrams, the root note D is always on the bottom, some other inversions beyond that.
  
  But as I know keyboard players would probably make the C note, that flatted 7 the lowest note when used.
  
  Anyway it does sound good. Interesting.
  
  The black panthers had their own band, "The Lumpen's". Sometimes they would parody The Temptations. Other times though they played this James Brown There Was A Time.
  
  Often curious about what seems to give songs their particular sound and appeal.

  Why build a new HK when they already have it across the street at Tropical? And they already let Tropical died.

  Are there even enough hot women and patrons to fill all these clubs?

  HKTJ is packed with customers and BGs on the weekends.
  
  My main concern would be the pricing, is the expansion going to raise the prices of Cascadas and Rizos?

  More likely it will raise the price at the new place and prices at the “old” place will fall a bit. That way they can corner both the high end and low end of the market. I bet it will cater to a slightly different audience.

  ^^^^ Makes sense to me.
  
  What will be lost in making this new building?
