Outlook: You’re working with Downtime Deli, an adjoining business, to accommodate patrons who want something to eat or drink. Why not serve drinks?

JL: “One of the problems with that is you’d have to get rid of the 18- to 21-year old players. And a lot of them want to play. We’re more about cards than drinking.”

Outlook: Does combining a novel concept with a wobbly economy make this a bit of a risk?

JL: “If it doesn’t work out,” he says, “I’ll say I worked at a job I loved for a couple years. I can go be an electrician tomorrow if I want. I’m not gonna let that license lapse.”
