I don't see her forming a community group to convince the government to use eminent domain to tear down her competition and build a lot. It was just an idea, like the good bus loop idea that will also never happen. And why does everyone say she is anti-bike? She didn't mention bikes at all.AlexBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168093686591172292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900435884863462118.post-37271701479816736652009-10-09T14:54:49.279-07:002009-10-09T14:54:49.279-07:00Mamma Leone left a note on the door..it said, &quo...Mamma Leone left a note on the door..it said, "Sonny, move out to the suburbs."

We used to all be signed up for their birthday dinner thing and I still go on occasion as I live near by. However with her opposition to the Bike lane and apparent desire for a parking lot I too will no longer eat at her establishment. She is fighting for things that won't help her business or the community. The bus idea isn't bad though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622775213774254006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900435884863462118.post-7249470562543525342009-10-09T10:31:19.650-07:002009-10-09T10:31:19.650-07:00Respectfully, Ms. LoRe, you DON'T want a park...Respectfully, Ms. LoRe, you DON'T want a parking lot.<br /><br />Think about who comes to your restaurant. How many of them drive?! Actual studies have shown that New York City businesses are patronized significantly more by pedestrians, rather than customers who arrive by car. <br /><br />Other studies show that more parking creates more congestion.<br /><br />And yet other studies show that more congestion equals less business!<br /><br />Trust me, you DON'T want a parking lot anywhere in your neighborhood!
