Lusty Lady Survives the Recession

The former incarnation of the "Lusty Lady was "The Amusement Center" and was located up the street nearer the Pike Market.  The then-manager June Cade said that such places do well in times of conservatism.  I'm wondering how they doing in times of recession?  The boutique next door had marked everything down by half and appeared to be going out of business.  "Lusty Lady" is in the habit of satirizing the signs on the Seattle Art Museum across the street, but this time they echoed the sign next door.
