Why no? Let the 40% of obese people eat there and let them pay the higher SALES tax, not the surrounding residents, the majority who will never eat at another fat (but tasty, of course) food restaurant.
When I opened Widmer's in 1964, none of the politicians welcomed me with anything. Some banks, said, "we don't want you". Until I started adding employees and growing. I rendered a service. What is coming appears to be a place to add to your girth. And the business starved Peoria politicians and some business men like Attorney Bob Hall, who has a VESTED interest, say what's your problem?
You protesters against growth? Nah, I will just never eat in this tasty fat food place which some "Opinion" writers say is our option. Let Phil Luciano add to his substantial girth in my place. It's his type of restaurant. Famous Daves may lose some of his business.
No, just in favor of more common sense in the political sector, badly lacking these days.Why doesn't the City just give them the two vacant Cub Food stores or convince owners of some of the 500, more or less, empty commercial buildings in the area, to give them a now empty building? No rent for 5 years.
