The success of a business should not be down to social media campaigns waged by business owners, climbing gym NIMBYs and pressuring (and wasting the time of) the city council in hopes they block this proposal.
I did talk to them about it when they just opened their first location.
Well, the US certainly has a number of mega climbing gyms that are totally businesses. I would kind of say that they have less of a community feel. Do we really want the climbing gym option to be a McGym? I would rather not.
