Story going around that yet ANOTHER longtime TAXPAYING BUSINESS downtown, a business that paid taxes, stuck it out through thick and thin, stayed in business through the best of times and the worst of times, is closing.

It is the famous restaurant Morriette's such absolutely wonderful food, they were featured on the Travel Channel that could be seen throughout the whole world


Yep, let's hear DV talk about YET ANOTHER TAXPAYIGN BUSINESs closing.    Taxpaying businesses closing, homeowners getting foreclosed upon, no one buying a house in the city, people fleeing in droves blight spreading like wildfire throughout the in the neighborhoods where people which is just another reason that people are fleeing.

Yep,  longtime TAXPAYING BUSINESSES close means fewer business properties to pay taxes
Homeowners fleeing the city, abandoning their homes meanas fewer homeowners to pay the taxes
Hundreds of foreclosures every year leads to fewer homeowners to pay the taxes.

And DV claims that the mayor and his dem team are doing a wonderful job in the city.   But the coward DV, who will not so much as put a pinky toe IN the city, REFUSES to address the falling tax base, the FACT that people are NOT moving INTO the city, and everything in the neighborhoods where the taxpayers live is becoming a ghost town.

DV, are you too much of a coward to tell us what is going to happen when there are no homeowners left in the city to pay the taxes of the millionaire cronies of your dem buddies -- your dem buddies who aren't even listening to you no matter how much you brown nose?

Yup my hubby heard recently that the owner is selling : (

rearranging ERIE BLVD...to look like a NASCAR racetrack ...has not helped any business along that route...


to take a perfectly fine BLVD and make it into a "hallway"...was stupid in plain English.....

all that money to ride on bumps ...sewer covers.....pothole not even repaired correctly.....cars coming every which way.....

STUPID STUPID  STUPID...

Of course, we know that the cowardly cheerleader, DV, once he reads this he's going to be posting all over the business is closing because they don't know how to run a business, blah blah blah, which of course is his desperate attempt to cover up the truth that it's his dems that will have caused this to close.

See, DV keeps trying in desperation to claim that owners of long time taxpaying businesses simply don't know how to run a business.

However, isn't it interesting that all the long time TAXPAYING businesses downtown were successful in the city's worst of times, so that CLEARLY PROVES that these owners do indeed know how to run a business.

It is clear that it is the dems leading the city/co/plex that are willfully and deliberately causing long time TAXPAYING businesses to close by forcing the taxpaying businesses to pay the taxes of their competitors!

I mean really, the dems in the city/co are forcing Morrettes to pay their own taxes PLUS the taxes of Bombers, Mexican Radio, Johnny's, Villa Italia, etc, etc.  So I DEFY DV to explain how a business such as Morrettes can stay in business when it has to pay the taxes of all it's competitors!   And Dv will NEVER answer that question and that is 1,000% the truth.

I heard that to, I need to get one of their steak sandwiches before they close

STUPID STUPID  STUPID...

Erie BOULEVARD was originally built (around 1920) with an island down the middle of it.  
Furthermore ---- look at the definition of the word, Boulevard:
bou·le·vard noun \ˈbu̇-lə-ˌvärd, ˈbü- also ˈbə-\
: a wide and usually important street that often has trees, grass, or flowers planted down its center or along its sides

And every other person in town knows that the paving is not yet completed -- so your other complaints are devious and spurious -- at best.

Frankly, it is STUPID STUPID STUPID to keep complaining about something that is so obviously an improvement over the previous condition.  You folks cried and whined about the pot holes for years -- now they are being fixed and you cry and whine like a bunch of spoiled, not-toilet trained 2 year olds.

Problem is DV,. that money was spent, WASITED UNNECESSARILY to redo a portion of Erie that did NOT need any work, while the city IGNORED the part of Erie that was riddled with potholes for a long time!

they had to dig it all up to bury the wires/cable/optic

And of course the ONLY part of Erie Blvd that will be paved is where the city is doing the "new construction" and they will live the part of Erie Blvd north of the RR bridge, in total shambles  because it is NOT on "the list" of streets in the city to be paved.

Si therefore, DV you are WRONG AGAIN.  

The city is WASTING money "redoing" a section of Erie Blvd when that northern part of Erie (outside of the construction zone) is sorely in need of repaving and has been so for years.  And many streets in the city -- IN THE  NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE TAXPAYERS LIVE are sorely, very badly in need of repaving, but instead, the taxpayers' must drive on the terrible roads in their neighborhoods, damage being caused  to their cars and the city will NOT pay for the damage, but the people pay the taxes and their streets are NOT paved.  Instead, the city DEMS STEAL money from the homeowners and use that money to give to their millionaire and billionaire croneis like Galesi, King Phillip, the Hilton's, Malllozzi, etc.

They updated ALL of the infrastructure under Erie Boulevard - including the wires/cable/optic.  This was a wise decision and a great use of taxpayer money.  Better to fix it all at once than to come back in a couple of years and rip it up to fix infrastructure.  We need MORE of this kind of common sense, wise spending, long range thinking  projects in our area.

But in the neighborhoods, where the taxpayers live, their roads get NOTHING.  

The taxpayers get NOTHING for their taxes!!!!    And the coward DV will NOT say anything about why the taxpayers are not getting their roads paved.

Taxpayers pay the taxes for downtown, taxpayers see ever increasing taxes.   And in the neighborhoods where the taxpayers live, the services they pay for are cut.   DV is a coward and will not speak about that truth!!!!!


DV do you RERFUSE to tell us what the taxpayers, living in the neighborhoods, are getting in return for all their taxes and paying for downtown.   Come on DV, tell us, why do you avoid answering that question?

yup...downtown/erie blvd. will be nice when done...but then what about the rest of the city? after erie blvd.is finished,where next? back to lower state street?

I used to like this place but the quality of the food had gone way down in recent years. Steak-Um's on a flat grill, with processed toppings on top Small variety of low quality food, my only surprise is this didn't happen sooner.

Legere currently owns all properties from Morettes to Nott St.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with everything past the overpass.

They already gave him the $4 million armory behind homeland security for 99 cents.

So which is it-closing or selling to be reopened by new owner?
