The Fate of the Oasis

Tomorrow night, Tuesday, Sept. 20, Racine's City Council is supposed to decide who gets to manage the Oasis on North Beach for the next five years. The Public Safety and Licensing Committee has recommended that the concession be taken away from Mr. Paul Curtin, the man who turned the Oasis from a gang and drug infested hangout into a destination spot on North Beach. Please contact your alderman and tell him or her how you feel about this matter. Or better yet, show up at the meeting and tell them yourself. 7 PM, Room 205, City Hall.

It's fast and easy to send your alderman an email. If you don't know who your alderman is, you can find out here: http://www.cityofracine.org/City/Departments/Clerk/Poll.aspx?id=196

Having been to the Oasis numerous times and loving it, I feel Paul should keep managing that place. Not only he turned the place around to a destination place, he is a really a nice guy. He'll strike up a conversation to a customer and them feel at home there. I've even seen go on stage during the bands' jam sessions and play the guitar.

I posted my feelings. If they read these blogs, they don't know where I live. It's really a dumb idea.

It's odd that the company that the city wants to give the contract to is named GS Avarice LLC. What kind of people would name their company after greed?

Hey I TALKED to mine!!! He told me his side and I told him my side. At least he took the time out to listen to me. I told him I'll call him in a year to further discuss this (waiting to see what happens).
