Reply to comment by MagAqua in Why did Vue 412 close? by thehofstetter

There are dozens of reasons for a restaurant to close that do not involve them not making enough money. An owner could have died, they could have been bought out, the lease could have ended, the health department could have closed them, etc.

I moved to DC in 1997 straight after college and left to go back "home" in 2020. . . which is also when I bought my first car. We did start using car share a bit after we had kids, but there's no way we could/would have continue(d) to live in the area without Metro.

They're in Uniontown, that's getting to the edge of what I would even tangentially relate to Pittsburgh.

But it's pretty clear somebody heard them and just rectified it and they've been fed a steady diet of right wing paranoia so they genuinely believe that is happening.

I don't know what's worse: That we're effectively creating our own pseudo-schizophrenia or that a political party is doing it for their own gain.

Balancing the books is a basic part of maintaining finances…for a business or personal. The “books” are where transactions are recorded. Balancing the books is comparing what you think your account balance is with what another resource (like a bank or even a vendor) says your balance is.

People used to always have a physical checkbook for paying bills. You’d keep track of your payments and deposits in the checkbook. Once a month, you’d get a statement from your bank. The statement would list all of the transactions the bank processed for a specific period of time. You’d mark the transactions as ‘cleared’ if the bank has the same information you have.

For example….check number 347 was written to CVS for $22.53 on March 1. When you get your statement, you see thst the bank has paid that check to CVS, it has cleared your account.

On March 27, you wrote a check to your niece for $75 for her bday. She hasn’t cashed the check yet. Therefore, the balance the bank is showing is $75 more than the balance you’re showing for the account.

Knowing which transactions are outstanding (the check to your niece) help you have a better understanding of your balance…and keeps you from becoming overdrawn.

Most all of this is done electronically these days.
