Hoping he can land a new site here. In the 14 years that I've lived in this area, we've always had at least 1-3 sites with buzztime. But the last remaining site here dumped buzztime in December

We have a couple new restaurants opening up in the next few months, but I'm not exactly holding my breath that we're going to see buzztime any time soon (if ever again).

By "here" are you referring to State College?

No, State College has always had sites. Usually in the 5-7 range. I think at their peak they had nine sites.

Although now they're currently down to two sites...and they're within a quarter mile of each other (go figure).

"Here" is more or less the home of the Pirates' AA minor league affiliate. From the ballpark, the nearest buzztime site is roughly 40 miles to the east or 80 miles to the west.

Ok. I knew you didn't live close to the Getaway and I thought you worked or lived in State College.

Back on topic:
"Kirk complements our goal of changing company culture, product" - Sounds like the winds of change are still blowing. I imagine trivia will be an afterthought of this company before long.
