Yes, there are a whole lot of reasons out there, the smoking ban is just
another of a series of events that have hurt them. Windsor's business dropped
significantly with the border crossing problems right after 9/11, and never
totally recovered. From my own standpoint, I stopped going there when the VP
inventory went from really bad to simply atrocious, coupled with an ugly food
poisoning episode with their buffet. I understand that they do have full-pay
PickEm in dollars, though.
