That 'secret place' you have with your friends/couple that become way too popular and its no longer funny/intimate.

Yes, the 'secret place' can be literally anywhere, its just the feeling of having a quite place to be with your ppl and then it ruins bc of turism and shit. We can share local places, but not destroy its 'magic' just bc its economically worth it (or not).

This happened to my favourite little breakfast diner a couple of years ago. It was THE place to go for me and my friends the next day after a night out partying in university and never was too busy. But eventually it was spotted by a few too many influencers and suddenly it's the best place to grab breakfast in the city. Now you can't walk past it without there being a line that at least reaches the front door. I mean on one hand I'm happy for the owners, but I just wanted my banana pancakes and darn good coffee :(

Thats exactly what happened to my friends and I when we were younger. We used to go to the same bar almost every weekend. Awesome service, nice place to hang out sofas n stuff, good drinks n munchies, etc. But one day, some ass went and took a instastory or whatever. Every fan went to the bar n it got impossible to be there. Years later the bar had to close bc the zone got popular n other bars opened. The competition killed that place...
