That was the case with Groomingdale's Judy Springer, who also resides in
the 100 block of Clayton Street.Springer said she had been elected to
speak on behalf of "other" shop owners on the block who took issue with
the type of business entering the area."I wasn't raised here," said
Springer, "but I've been here now for 24 years and we all remember what
Clayton Street used to be like years ago, with bars all along the road,
and a reputation. We've tried to change that reputation to a more family
friendly business landscape and feel this just won't fit in."Problems
she indicated were of concern included fighting outside of the
establishment, loitering, littering, vandalism and most especially
parking.
"We now have a two-hour parking limit there during the
day," stated Springer, "but not at night and we feel that is unfair."The
issue of tavern-goers leaving vehicles outside of the bar was also
noted in three letters of concern written by shop owners Buffie DeChant
of The Bling and Me, Marta Tadolini of You Name It Promotions and Andrea
Spresser of All About U, three shops in the same 100 block of Clayton
Street."This is my bar," said Marquez, "and not my father's," when
addressed with several rumors of the revocation of liquor license of her
father, Ruben Escorza, for his former El Rancho Alegre on Kiowa Avenue
in downtown Fort Morgan.Illinois State Police say Rodriguez was ticketed
on Friday for driving under the influence, epoxy coated rebar and
improper lane usage.According to an article published in The Fort
Morgan Times in 2011, fighting outside the restaurant had become a
serious problem on Fridays and Saturdays, causing the Fort Morgan City
Council to deny approval of his liquor license to serve alcohol at the
location.Those charges were eventually dropped.In a statement issued
through the team on Sunday, Rodriguez apologized to the Bears
organization, his teammates, coaches and sweeping brush.
"I
felt Brush would welcome more people to the downtown area and I believe
it is good to start new things," remarked Marquez. "I have a family of
my own, so it will be a family-oriented business. As for the parking,And
after the water drained out, all three shrank back to their original
size as promised. So all three lived up to their claims. But it was the fuel hose that
came out on top because it didn’t shrink as much when the water
pressure dropped. we hope to start a taxi-ride service, but until that
time we will enforce as we can and we can also post signage to let
patrons know they will be towed should they leave their cars on the
block overnight. As far as the noise issue, the property was designated a
tavern prior to our taking over, so the ordinance should still stand.
As far as vandalism, fighting and keeping the streets of Brush clean, we
will enforce and clean as we can. We will have security who will check
and clean the grounds.The specialized vending machine hands out samples,
too, but you have to give it a "planetary gearbox"
on Facebook before it coughs up the goods. We will bring out ashtrays
to discourage use of the street and planters.It was the second encounter
with police this year for road sweeper, who was charged in March with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer in Miami."
