Joe Toole lost a boatload of money on this. I think when word got around that he had signed a petition to not let gays marry, people realized he is mean spirited and stopped going to his restaurant.

I hope it works out for them I'll give them a shot but why fix what's not broken? The have a nice underground following they're like morningsides best kept secret. I hope they're able to stay afloat with a bigger building. More tax and overhead plus a big mortgage.

I didn't know that.

That's why I don't go to Patricks anymore.

The owner of Patricks told one of his waitresses to tell a group of her friends to stop coming to the bar because he doesn't want "those people" at his bar.

I've got no particular love for gays, I just hate bigots.

Thank fake-Jesus that you don't manage a business! It would just die, withering on the vine, in desperate need of fresh air.

Gees. Man up and do something!

I think the move is going to be the best thing for Mazzeo's. The parking alone is going to be better. I love the original restaurant, but the new restaurant is going to be great. I'll be there with bells on as well as everyone else!

If only you got a toy with your meal. That was possibly the greatest idea to ever come from McDonalds.

I guess ALL the people that boycotted Joe's restaurant will NEVER go to Maine.

It's going to be sad to see them move, most likely raise their prices and cater to more out-of-towners, but hey, you have to be creative in order to make some dough in 2009.

The Mazzeo family rocks! I'll be a good customer, and those boys understand customer service like their parents did. Good luck, guys.

Now get off the computer you're going to be late customers are depending on you to bag their groceries. When we need to make a big decision like paper or plastic we'll call you untill then cuddle up with your boyfriend and stay warm ok sweet cheeks.
Wow.

You truly are "pro gun". Like Nik Hexxon says, "guns are for pewsies". And "pewsies" like you are scared to change. No bawls, boy. No bawls.

By the way, if that's the best comeback you have to combat the truth, I win.

By the way, it is so very obvious that you are a bigot.

You targeted my because I am an advocate for gay rights, and then you turn right around and suggset that if I were to have a boyfriend that would be some sort of insult.

Wow. That's just ignorant of you. I mean, I expect rednecks to be ignorant. But I say that I like gays and then you call me gay to insult me?

You are just really, really bad at this internet-battle thing.

Pro Gun has just been completely humiliated and embarrassed. I would be surprised if he ever posted on the interweb again.

Oh don't worry he will keep on posting, ignorance is bliss. The only thing Pro Gun is good at is coming up with new clever ways to post vulgar language on this site. He sure excels at that! He couldn't match wits with a fruit fly aka drosophilia melanogaster for us science geeks.

I think Aster's was great. I was very sorry to see it close.

I occasionally eat at Mazzeo's, it's not at all on the same scale as Aster's was but they might do well at there new location. However, I wish the brothers weren't rude, arrogant and ROTTEN to there employees. Word of mouth travels very fast in the restaurant business. It's a very known well known FACT.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Sagittarius

Mercury turning retrograde in your house of finances carries a rather unseasonal message, because it's telling you to pay attention to your finances over the next few weeks. If you already know that you've overspent this month, you won't need to be told that a few economies are just around the corner. Get the facts straight and pay attention to the small print. You may also have to make some adjustments to an intimate relationship so it can move into another phase.
