The forecast for substantive updates at BCR today: unlikely, given some challenges in ye ol' day job that have had us at work late Wed. and before dawn Thu. Some quick notes:
The H-S has a feature story today on rumblings over restoring streetcar/trolley service in the Bull City. Tonight on Shooting the Bull (7:30pm, WXDU 88.7 FM) Barry and I will be interviewing Steve Mancuso from DATA -- the streetcar is one of the key subjects for this, the second half of our two-part series on transit in the Bull CIty.
Five Points Cafe appears to be closed with a landlord lock-out, which is typically the case in an event of unpaid rent. More as we know it.
Indeed, this is a case of unpaid rent. Landlord tried several times to work with Steve on rent owed, and finally threw down the gauntlet. Matherly's creditors have been given till November 3rd to have everything out.
There have been strong rumblings of whiskey bar / lounge for the space, from the owners of Bull McCabe's. Supposedly it will serve high end whiskey, and local beer on tap. It will be a two-story affair, with private areas upstairs.

Five Points seemed to be doomed from the start. I am, however, looking forward to something useful being put into that space.
Doesn't the landlord have some right to seize the equipment to pay owed rent?

Stalin would understand... and approve!

The notice on the door says they "have ten (10) days to claim [their] property or it shall be sold or disposed of by the landlord."

Does anyone know a lady named Kaylene, who used to work at Five Pionts Cafe before it closed?
