There was - and still may be - a restaurant in Seattle's U District, purporting to serve Island food (I'm being deliberately vague here), that in all the years I ever walked by never had a single customer, no matter what time of day it was.
I went in once, out of curiosity, and the vibes were awful. A completely empty restaurant with completely unwelcoming vibes.
I left quickly. Always figured it was a front for ...something.Maybe drugs.
