… You cannot just agree to say we’re going to change [the redevelopment plan] without seeing the benefits of the town. These changes are being made to placate the developer,” Miller said.
These were changes that the planning/zoning board also voted down last week after the matter was referred to them for advice by council.
“This looks like something of a prison,” said George Gallenthin, a resident obviously disturbed about a proposed rendering he saw of the new Bottom Dollar market. The building appears to have limited windows and doors, which is seen as an unfavorable design by some locals.
The 20,000 square foot store is expected to be built from the ground up, if everything goes according to plan.
“It looks like a holding cell before you go to FEMA camp,” Gallenthin insisted.
Gallenthin said bringing the market to town was also going to be the prelude to increased drug activity and prostitution in town.

There are literally hundreds of scathing reviews for these grim hotels but in order to find them, travelers need to click through fourteen pages of higher rated hotels on the site. Travel publications devote a huge amount of space to celebrating the world’s best hotels, but virtually none to condemning the worst ones, so it’s easy to see how inexperienced travelers could be disappointed in New York, America’s most expensive city, where $100 a night doesn’t buy much.
I spent a good deal of time traveling on a budget in the developing world and consider myself to be something of a cheap hotel aficionado. I’ve stayed in hotels frequented by drunks, prostitutes and outright criminals, places with no running water, pit toilets with no doors, filthy mattresses tossed on the floor- places squalid enough to occasionally inhabit my nightmares to this day. But I haven’t stayed in any of these hotels, so please note that these reflections are those of travelers writing on Trip Advisor. And even the worst reviewed places have some defenders. But not many. Per the Trip Advisor ratings, here are the worst among the worst:

There’s admission of the mistake, without blame-shifting. There’s acknowledgment of the pain it caused (not “might have caused,” as half-baked apologies go). There’s promise of future “caution, restraint and humility.” And there’s significant consequences for Edwards himself.
” . . . I will be stepping down from my post as Managing Editor, effective immediately,” he wrote. “I take full responsibility for the events that transpired tonight, and for the black mark upon the organization that I have caused.”
Edwards sounded so sincerely anguished, so willing to own the hot mess he’d cooked, I was practically cheering for him by the time he ended his note with a plea not for forgiveness, but understanding.
It’s rare that we hear a perfect apology. The “non-apology apology” of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer comes to mind, in which he acted noble for resigning from the office he disgraced by hooking up with a prostitute.

Requests for Tukey as a speaker are CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN 2011, and GREATLY LOWER THAN 2010.
Tukey’s IMPORTANCE HAS DWINDLED, to such an extent that he spent EARTH WEEK 2011 in the company of a BUNCH OF BACK-WOODS LOSERS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE BRITISH COLUMBIA INTERIOR.
EARTH WEEK is the HOLY WEEK for Enviro-Lunatic-Terrorists, and the MOST IMPORTANT ENVIRO-LUNATIC WEEK OF THE YEAR.
During EARTH WEEK 2011, NOBODY wanted to hear Tukey’s MIS-INFORMATION concerning pest control products, nor did they want to hear HIS SHILLING about HIS array of BOGUS For-Profit Green Alternatives.
Tukey is NO LONGER the Flavour-of-the-Month, and is now a DISMAL FAILURE as a guest speaker.
Rumours are now circulating that Tukey can only find work as a SEX-WORKER-MANAGER since FEMALE-ENVIRO-LUNATICS think he is somehow attractive.

… Kids play there, tour groups come by, it has been used in films, people come here for their wedding pictures because it’s so beautiful,” Landes said. “Public use is the paramount issue when it comes to determining whether something is a public road or not. The city plan is not the beginning and end of making that decision.”
“The Colonial-period landowner and his heirs never chose to give it to the city and that’s not as uncommon as you’d think,” DiMarco said. “The city doesn’t want it. It’s not on their plan. They don’t want it on their plan.”
The Landeses filed court documents last month saying the city should take official ownership of the disputed land. They and other like-minded neighbors, some with “Save Irving Street” fliers in their windows, say the claim about prostitutes and drug users frequenting the dead-end is a red herring that hints at an unstated goal: gating it off and blocking public access.

Susan was a crack addict and prostitute whose life was saved by Jesus Christ. That’s what she would say when you met her; she had no compunction about sharing details of her sordid past because the Lord cleansed those sins from her.
Christ may have removed the sins but he left much of Susan otherwise unchanged after she got clean; at 35, she looked at least a decade older, her graying hair matched by a haggard expression—all testimony to her many years on the Philadelphia streets. She still had a hot temper and a foul mouth lacing sentences with old addict slang and obscenities when provoked. Her street name—“Light Skin Susan”—came from her high-yellow tone; in North Philly’s black community complexion remains a salient characteristic, leftover from the old days when blacks with light skins were seated in the front pews in churc …

GEORGE FOREACRE is not a coldhearted guy. But he couldn’t help but celebrate this week’s death of notorious strip-club mogul Robert Laflar, who faced trial in October in the fatal beating of Foreacre’s friend. “I know he [Laflar] has children, and they’re innocents. That’s the ones I feel bad for,” said Foreacre, 37, who survived the 2009 attack outside Laflar’s strip club that left him with four fractured vertebrae and his buddy Jimmy Koons dead. “But when you dance with the devil, you got to answer to the devil, and he answered to the devil today. It’s a good day.”
…
The FBI was investigating Laflar’s strip clubs and his auto-salvage shop, Gianni’s, in connection with alleged kickbacks involving the Philadelphia Police Department and the Department of Licenses and Inspections, the Inquirer reported last February.

Stratford massage parlors raided, 4 women arrestedJanuary 19, 2012|By James Osborne, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Police raided two Stratford massage parlors Thursday that are suspected to be part of a prostitution ring with connections to New York City.
Shortly after 1 p.m., officers swept into Heavenly Hands Massage on Yale Avenue and then the Natural Massage Center on West Laurel Road, arresting two employees at each place.
Detectives had been investigating the establishments for a month after receiving reports from neighbors of men parking down the street and walking to the establishments, said Stratford Police Chief Ronald Morello.
At both locations, undercover officers allegedly were offered sex in exchange for money. When police went to the businesses Thursday, they found only one customer, who appeared to be getting a legitimate massage. But they found hidden surveillance cameras with no monitors – believed to be a mechanism for someone else to track customer traffic. “It’s a network. These women travel around. They get busted, and they g …
