It has to be more than a coincidence that The Journal Times has no headlines concerning MLK day today.
In more coincidences - The Journal Times story about Mark Pocaro concerns the building that once housed the former Raytown Roadhouse!
From The Racine Post:
Landlord's foreclosure won't affect Raytown Roadhouse,
but reporter Mick Burke is persona non grata for now
When it came to newspapers, the old (pre-internet) adage stated: Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Well, that was then, this is now. There are lots of other ways to get the word out, as Pete Karas, owner of the Raytown Roadhouse, well knows.
So when Pete was angered earlier this week by a Journal Times headline that kinda, sorta implied the Roadhouse, his country/western bar and restaurant on Sixth Street, was in foreclosure, and thus in danger of closing, Karas took to the internet, posting a rebuttal on Facebook.
Here's what the Journal Times headline said (it's still cached on Google):
Foreclosure hits Downtown properties, Raytown Roadhouse; property owner Spodick may save home
Friday's story, by business reporter Mick Burke, began: "Property owner Jim Spodick is about to lose several Downtown parcels to foreclosure including the Raytown Roadhouse country-western bar - formerly the former Historic Century Market." In fairness, the story did say, about a third of the way down, "The foreclosure should not affect Raytown Roadhouse or owner Pete Karas." But the damage was already done, in Karas' mind.
So Karas posted this to Facebook on Saturday:
We are NOT closing!
You may have read the Journal Times today where they make it appear that Raytown Roadhouse is closing. The building owner is in foreclosure, but Raytown Roadhouse, owned by Pete Karas, is staying open as is.
We're disappointed in the second-rate journalism of the Journal Times and reporter Mick Burke. We are looking into legal remedies and have cancelled all advertising with our local two-bit newspaper.
If you have an event booked at Raytown, rest assured we will be here for you!
And then Pete posted a picture of the Roadhouse's outside sign:
WE'RE HERE TO STAY HEY JT FIRE MICK BURKE
The Dickert Disaster continues:
Recommendation of the Finance and Personnel Committee on 1-13-14:
Permission be granted to the City Attorney to represent officers Guardiola, Pomeroy and Forsman (nee: Cronin) in the lawsuit, Roy Anderson v Sgt. Guardiola, et al, US District Court Eastern District Case No. 13-CV-995.
Roy Anderson claims he was tasered and that Officers illegally entered his premises and arrested him. He's asking for $500,000.
SCREENING ORDER signed by Judge Lynn Adelman on 12/4/13 granting 2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Further ordering that the United States Marshal shall serve a copy of the complaint and this order upon defendants.
What will this cost taxpayers?
