The last thing downtown Ytown needs is yet another bar. Both Cafe Cimmento, Dooney's inself, and another bar cited competition as one of the main reasons for closing. What we NEED is retail, a movie theater, and a hotel.
Plus, I can't believe that the Design Review committee approved "garage doors" on that historic Stambaugh building!
I realize that it's hard for Mr. Sammarone to let go - he's been doing this for umpteen years. But it IS time to let go.
It is time for the prez of council to earn the money he's being paid, which would mean expanding the duties of the seat, not just being a meeting leader and part timer making a full-time wage off the people.
