Oh that's just pathetic. Half the fun for me was sitting in whichever room was on break, because you could still talk and be heard, and the music was as loud as necessary.

I know that Rosa's has declined a little bit as well, I stopped going once they got rid of the bouncers that would watch your car in the parking lot next door, and once I got a nicer car!!
