Decisions need to be done quickly
From what I have seen from other situations like this, when a type of club closes that everyone frequents, people scatter to the four winds. Things are never as they were due to many things and logistics.
But if some of the VERY senior members that are there in BA now can converse and agree on a place Very close and similar to X's that also would want to accept that business that X's has left scattered. Even though I like Alliance, I do not feel it is the answer to replace X's. Maybe I am being to much of a purist and still want the large outside cafe feel to it. But I also feel that a location of a cafe that is far inside the MC area may not be that best either. X's was better for me due to accessablity either from the MC area and the REC area, via taxi of course. But essentially, the location along that main BLVD just outside of MC was really choice! Maybe that cafe accross the street from X's would be good, but isn't it somewhat small? Compared to X's.
Opinions?

[QUOTE=Punter 127]Actually I think Café Iberia is a good meeting place, and if the chicas show up all the better. Most of the chicas that worked at Exedra were asking more than they were worth and looking for that one big score; if they lower the price and go work at Café Iberia they may actually make some money. The last time I was in BsAs I spent some time at Café Iberia with some very experienced BsAs mongers and the general consciences was the place was ok and the prices are much less than Exedra. If you 're really concerned about 11 to 12 blocks and the taxi cost, may I suggest the "colectivo " I think it cost a peso or less now.[/QUOTE]Punter I think I will pass on the "colectivo".
Still feel that since the ladies have been living it up at X's it would be very difficult to go back to making half or 2/3's of what they are used to. I think the opposite would be true that the prices at Iberia would increase. Remember that in essence you are discussing moving the "escort business" that X's had to Iberia. That's just geography nothing more.
