Pete, with all due respect, I don't believe downtown restaurants are competing with Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's, Hardee's, Denny's, Dairy Queen, Arby's, etc. Possibly Plaza Tapitia and Ocean dessy, perhaps Peking House and Cambridge Diner. But, even those draw a "different" clientel, IMO.And I think your opinion is correct.

Yes I do realize the delveloper was shooting for a fine dining restaraunt. Is, and I really don't know, Snappers in the same league with that or Bella Luna? I forgot- that new French Restaraunt too?

Thanks,
God bless,
Pete

Downtown in a  way is in competition with the Rt 50 corridore sp? There needs to be other things downtown first before more restaraunts  pop up.

Off from down town is snappers and Portside. I think those two are doing well, but not sure.

Just remember the bars in Cambridge that cause so much trouble are BONAFIDE Restaurants.

Secretary will probably be the next great gathering place. They have no local police protection.

As for thr circus you were the 300 lb Gorilla in the room. The Council and Liquor board were professional and couteous to everyone. YOU WERE THE LOUD MOUTH.

OH Yeah and there are tapes to prove it.


I don't have a dog in this fight and don't personally know Sue very well. But, I was at one of the meetings she attended and would have to say she is correct, she was the victim. I recall when she tried to speak, and if you want to depict her as the "bull," I'd say the bull was confronted by Godzilla. 

I can't comment on other meetings she may have attended, I wasn't there.

I like that.

I left the ENM meeting quickly because I had another meeting I had to attend at the same time as that one.

I was po'd when I left, I will not deny that as I was treated rudely and unprofessionally by Ms. Saunders who constantly interupted and challenged me during the entire time I was speaking.

Since the ENM meeting was the meeting in MY district that is the one I chose to attend and speak at.

As for the other meetings, I tried to attend those with written statements to read into the record because I thought I might be able to address the issues without being interupted.

I was not allowed to speak per Ms. Saunders.

Now I dont know what your personal problem with me is and I really do not care but I did want to set the record straight about your accusations.

We do not know it was a majority because a vote was never taken on it. 


It became the majority when the opposing side decided to never show to voice their opinions at the many meetings held.

Thats not true, some of us are busy raising family's and doing what we do to get by.  For many people in the community it was not that big an issue.  It needs to be put to a vote at some level for change to happen.


What? And people who support change don't have other things to do? They don't have families?

And if it isn't that big of an issue - why stand in the way of change? If you can't be bothered to show up to a few meetings because it doesn't matter enough to you - sigh.

Sure - we should have a vote. Do you think people opposing change will bother to come out and vote?

Does it matter enough to them?

That's why we have elections.  I just think that the person should have did thier homework.  Would you buy a house without checking it out first ? or a car?  How about building a house without permits.  The person made a boo  boo.

No, Pete, I have not changed my mind.

I still believe the change is in the best interest of the city of Cambridge and Secretary.

Was my complaint about your post about that? No. Are you purposely trying to confuse this discussion.

I took issue only when you said, everyone was upset.

And I stand by my statement that the majority of people are upset at some members of the Council and the Liquor Board.
No joke. As if I challenged you on that, which I did not. I only took issue with your use of the word everyone, which you changed to majority, which is fine in that case.

God bless,

Pete....it is not an exaggeration.

The naysayers were way outnumbered by those in support of the change.

There were usually very few people in attendance at any of the meetings that were against the proposed change and most of the commentary that I saw written was also in favor of the change.

I was at most of the Liquor Board meetings and I know you have seen my take on how they were handled.

Very unprofessional, extremely rude and totally inept.

As for your first point, I stand corrected I should have said why a majority of people are upset with them.

Second, I can't speak for the BOLC because I was not at all their meetings but I can say some county council listened to some possible law changes.

The argument is not that they were wrong to uphold the law.

Why everyone is upset with them is that they refused to work with people to change the law through due process as the majority wanted.

I have no problem with them refusing at the get go but I have major problems with the circus that came after it by many members of both the liquor Board and the County Council.

The behavior and attitudes were out of line and in no way professional.

I believe the sign is perfectly acceptable as political commentary. There is nothing wrong with expressing one's opinion and working towards the change you believe should happen.

Another quote by Flecther in The outlaw Josie Wales is "don't piss on the back of my neck and tell me it's raining".

Oh no, the developer messed up, did not do proper research, and raised cain to change the law instead of coming up with a work around solution.

Unprofessional and nearsighted.

God bless,
Pete

I take offense to it because william nichols is my friend and they were only abiding by the rule.Aye. Nichols is also my friend and he is also my representative. He has done a fine job in all his work as a county councilman. It does not matter to me he is a Dem. He's a mighty good Dem. This man definitely does his homework and does his best as a councilman. I am a very strong supporter of him.


  Shame on the developer, he/she should have did their homework.
Amen!

He could also figure out something else to put in there, but his mind is stuck on a restaraunt that serves alcohol.

God bless,
Pete

I'm hoping we get to throw the whole bunch out and start over.

The right to seek redress of a grievence is a cornerstone of the Republic.  I hope the owners spend money to replace the no votes.
