Fifteen years ago I opined that this restaurant was a boondoggle, a waste of taxpayer money and potential source of grift and political favoritism. But, "Oh no, it's needed to stimulate the economy and provide a place for locals to hang out and enjoy good meals," I was told.
It turned out to be a boondoggle, waste of taxpayer money and was a source of favoritism and grift. Unfortunately, it never provided good meals and no longer is a place to hang out.
I don't know all who benefited, and many did, but the late Don Malloy threatened bad things should I complain too loudly about this turkey.
Your friend,
