Paul you could thanks many of use by removing the ugly planters in front of your restaurant
I agree. Move them so my passengers can open the car door.
I’m not asking anymore. Have them removed Paul by end of business 12/21 or you will hear from my lawyers. I was injured last week when I opened the car door I was a passenger in and the door struck these illegal planters and flew back in my face. I have a serious eye injury because of the misplace of these things and my suffering will not go unanswered.
Very dramatic, 6:51. Not sure it will result in the immediate removal of the offending (and illegal) planters in question, but the vignette you’ve described is colorful, plausible, and leaves one waiting to see when the next shoe will drop. Bravo!
Speaking of illegal has the new code enforcer that Roberta hired just for leaf violation or can she go to the CBD for sign violation ?
I put my doggie droppings in those planters — please don’t move them….
Number one she is to busy writing leaf violation, mean while the town is behind on the pick up. Number two she was probable told to avoid the CBD . She may piss off Paul V. and he will tug on our Mayors strings.
The planters are ugly too. How can the Historic Commission allow this?
What if other restaurants decide to build walls to gain more dining space?
Why has the restaurant never been ticketed? Who is responsible for enforcement?
