It is amazing to me that patrons continue to spend their money at this establishment. Dont get me wrong, the atmosphere is pretty cool and the wing sauces are good, but their prices are highway robbery. I was suckered into going to the Sharon restaurant with my family during the holidays after a visit to Kraynak's. I ordered wings, fries, and 2 beers. My bill was $48. How is that justifiable? No thanks, Id rather stretch my dollar further during trying times.
What is the population of Mahoning County? Roughly a quarter of a million people. Why does this man think he is being singled out? Granted, I'm sure at times he is picked on, or "entrapped." However, there must be a reason why. I have lived here my entire life. Why haven't I been treated this way? Why haven't hundreds of thousands of other people been treated this way by public officials? Does he just have bad luck? Or over his lifetime has he made himself that big of a public nuisance that now, people just like to mess with him to get a rise out of him. If Mr. Ludt had just lived his life "under the radar." like the majority of people do, he wouldn't be targeted, no one would know who he was, and we wouldnt even be having this discussion...HE DESERVES EVERYTHING THAT COMES HIS WAY, HE HAS BROUGHT IT UPON HIMSELF!
After seeing the 50-something videos posted on youtube by irisheyez717, it is obvious Mr. Ludt is a nutty dirtbag that should be living in the back woods while strumming a dueling banjo with his son. Apparently, the apple doesnt fall too far from the tree. For whatever reason, this family has a real hatred to public officials. Why would someone continuously go out of his way to look for downfalls, or loopholes while obstructing justice. This man must live with such paranoia that he cannot open his front door without a videocamera in his hand. I think its safe to say he supports SB5.
Mark, what don't you understand about your channel being a ripoff?? How can cable companies possibly justify paying more to carry your network than ESPN? They are the worldwide leader in sports. You are a regional leader of nothing. No thanks on the satellite idea, but I'll keep my Armstrong cable and continue to praise them for not giving in to the greed, I'm not interested in badminton and synchronized swimming. The economy in this valley is in the tank. Luckily, thousands of citizens will patronize local bars and eateries for atleast 3 games this year. The other 400, and I may add, much better and important games, will be available on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and the package of ESPN channels. These channels are available on the basic lineup. Yours is not. You may fool others on this topic, but I am highly knowledgable about the TRUTH, if you don"t believe me, feel free to read some of my other posts.
Whether consumers realize it or not, they are slitting their own throats. First it was NFL network, then NHL network, then MLB network, now BIG TEN network. Talks are already underway for a PAC-10 network. Sports as you and I have known it for 50 years has been free to watch on major networks. If this keeps up and these precedences continue, you will one day have to pay a special rate to watch the Indians and Orioles on a random night in June. And believe it or not, it is said within 10 years the SUPERBOWL will be PAY-PER-VIEW. BTN wants more money to carry their channel than ESPN. How can that possibly be justified? What are you going to watch on BTN in May? Tennis, Badminton, & Synchronized swimming. THIS IS A FACT. No thank you, but I work hard for my money, and can afford to miss a Minnesota/Northwestern game. ITS NOT WORTH IT!! Thank you Armstrong for sticking to your guns and not carrying this silly network. Who does the BTN really think they are?? For those Satellite customers, I look forward to seeing you on those commercials singing that catchy jingle in that Opera tone, "I WANT MY CABLE BACK!!!"
I'd like to set the record straight. 1st of all, Armstrong is not a monopoly. The company has a non-exclusive contract w/ communities it serves. If Time Warner wanted to come in and build its cable grid on Ohio Edison's utility poles, they are ALLOWED. However, it does not make much sense to invest millions of dollars to snatch up a small percentage of the customer base. 2ndly, Armstrong is one of the greatest companies you will ever see in our lifetime. Ive had Armstrong cable for 30+ years and dont have a negative remark about them. They will come to your house and correct a problem that the customer created. They will come to your house and replace cable that YOUR animal chewed. They will come to your house to replace batteries in YOUR remote control. They do all of this FREE OF CHARGE. Yes, you may spend a little more per month for their service, however, the local service and support is second to none. Try getting perks like that from a Satellite operator. My in-laws have a dish, and were having trouble with reception during inclement weather, his company had the nerve to ask an 80 yr old man to climb on his roof and brush the snow away. Another story that happened to my neighbor not too long ago. He rented a backhoe to dig for a new patio. in the process of doing so, he broke the fiberoptic line running underground. Armstrong had 2 technicians there within an hour at 7PM. These technicians were there for roughly 3 hours digging a new trench, running hundreds of feet of a new fiberoptic line, and splicing it back in to restore all services to this SINGLE household. This had to cost the company hundreds of dollars in materials&overtime. This problem was obviously customer negligence. Do you know what his bill from the company was? ZERO. See if you can get another company to perform those types of services at no cost to the consumer. Lastly, in regards to the Big Ten Network, as you've read above in the article, Armstrong has done everything in its power to carry the network. They've offered to carry it on a digital tier, and even as a stand alone pay channel for those who want it, will pay for it. Those who do not, will not pay. The BTN wants it to be carried on the basic lineup. By doing so, everyone's bill will raise a substantial amount. As much as my buddies and I would like to see more football, my mother will be upset by an increase in her rates. She doesn't want it. Why should she have to pay for it? Believe it or not, more people DO NOT want it than those that DO

Pelini-Nebraska? Wonder if his name had anything to do with it? I didn't see Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado or any other Big 12 school recruiting him, funny how things work out.
Who is Zordich trying to kid? Is he in denial? He states on WKBN, he understands his family has a tradition at Penn St, but he wants to pave his own way, so he selected Buffalo. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? BUFFALO?! I'm pretty sure he wouldve taken Penn St. had he had the opportunity. Anyone who knows anything about football can tell you that statement isnt fooling anybody.
