Dear [redacted],
I appreciate your email, and I will certainly consider taking you up on your kind offer of the free wings, but I really do think you’re a little off base here. BWW is probably a great place where many people love to hang out, but I think you’re nuts to suggest it’s the equivalent of the BRYCC House (and come on, if you’re namedropping Wayne County and the Electric Chairs like it’s no big deal, I feel like you should understand that on some level). The BRYCC House was a community-led, non-profit initiative that featured very young artists and musicians that would have been unlikely to find a comfortable niche for their work anywhere else, and especially in the sort of chain establishments BWW represents. “Fun and camaraderie” certainly do enter into the equation somewhere, but the circumstances under which those qualities are enjoyed differs greatly between the BRYCC and BWW. I’m not saying BWW is a bad place or that I wish it didn’t exist. But I do think, all things considered, that the BRYCC was better for the neighborhood, and with all due respect to your organization, I’d rather it still be there.
Best,
