They should have explained why Rob's Place closed

[GARFIELDKOOL]

I don't think it was mentioned in the pilot episode. They just came down where it use to be and it was closed down. I wanted to know why and how it went under.

And why they couldn't use the exact same Rob's Place that was used in the 70's. That place on WHN looked like Robert's Place-lol

I still don't know what you mean. Who is Robert? Do you mean ROB's place? Because that's the only one I know of.

The Thomas House still looked the same but not Rob's place. That place was much WIDER and not consistent with the first rob's which is why I called it ROBERT'S PLACE because it looked like another place and not the one we were used to seeing on WH

It was still the same place, just revamped. You got me confused. The point is they should have explained why Rob's place went out of business.

LOL, I guess she went to the same place Florida Evans went to. They could have at least had her on the phone to provide more updates on her.

I kind of assumed that it went out of business within a year or so before Raj came back. It could have been possible that Rob renovated the place prior to going under. A good storyline could have been Rob defaulting on the loan to renovate the place to compete against a newer restaurant.
