There's a great Mom & Pop restaurant that's been in town for years and they
decided to branch out to the neighboring town. Well their new restaurant was
a mere shadow of the original in quality and ambience.

The sad thing is that any customers who first dine at the new place, should
they ever see the original in town would probably not give it a second
chance. And if the original's diners dine at the new establishment they'd
probably wonder if both places are headed downhill.
