I was always amazed how my dining room chandelier survived those 2 days, year after year. It would sway and rattle with every mortar! HAHAHA!!

AA business have been around for a long time. Bringing a new business to the area has been a problem for many not just AA.

Oh heck, I might as well say it, since we're on the 3rd and 4th of July....the real action on the 3rd is at the corner of Prospect and Forrest Hill.

There's usually a massive brawl with 5 squad cars by the end of the Glen Oak fireworks. And no, contrary to rumors, I didn't start any of them........

That's exactly how it is here in Podunkville. I sit in my lawnchair in the driveway.
 
The neighbors have it down to an art: when the "parks patrol" car comes spluttering down the street, it all goes quiet. As soon as it passes, the mortars FLY, BABY!! HAHA!!

And that isn't a risk I'd want to take.

@ChefKevin
 
Is there any way a buyer could negotiate the sale without leasing that extra space?

Oh, I would think. It has been other businesses. They would have to figure out a way to deal the door ways. Don't know how the HVAC is run, though.

At that cost of a business how many costumers a day and prices of food would keep you very busy. Crazy money for buying someone out.

I am not part of the "we" in this statement. "He didn't say anything that's not true." = Yes, you're right: his racist colors came through bright and clear in the words and tone of the message. I'm disgusted. This is exactly why Peoria has a big problem.

@QuispNQuake
 
How is it racist to state facts. It'd be racist if I thought that's the only businesses they can open that would succeed. In fact, I implored the op to encourage diversity amongst business owners. It seems that you're the one that only wants aa kept in certain professions.

Eastbluffbandit I was a homeowner on the East Bluff for 15 years. Yep, I'm a hypocrite. Uh huh, I hide from reality.

@QuispNQuake
 
Was.
