Biscuitsngravy F.Y.I. I recently attended a City facilitated, Economic Development Committee Meeting, (in response to the City's recent negative, 24/7 Wall Street designation) where most on said committee struggled to come up with examples of successful AA owned, Peoria businesses. Additionally, the question was asked, how do we go about identifying said businesses; thus the reason for my query. The City's ED meeting was facilitated by department head, Chris Setti, and Dr. Leslie McKnight. If there is a race card, or a game, being played here, I can assure you that I, Sir (or Mam), am not the dealer thereof. I plan to set up a meeting, I will pass along your response, to the other stakeholders. It seems obvious, based upon your reaction, how Peoria got into this predicament. B and G: Did you have a response to the thread, OR are you just baiting me? Either way; I'm chanting for you.

You'll pass along my response of what's the point in naming black owned businesses? Okay. As long as your truthful and say that you look for divisions amongst race just to have the same,tired argument. We know which businesses are black owned in this city. You can usually tell by the product or the name. (Bbq, "bling bling"). You want more diversity in this city,you start by telling them to do something new.
