I just noticed that after years of the Latina's signs staying up on the vacant Ellicott Street market, the signs are now gone.
While in some cases, the city could cite a property owner for old business signs, City Manager Jason Molino said he doesn't think the signs came down because of any city action. So perhaps Latina's, after a summer of bad publicity over seagulls on the building, finally asked that the signs be taken down.
Meanwhile, owner Tom Lewin appeared in City Court last week. Given that the building is now cleaned up, the charges against Lewin could be dismissed in six months if there are no more violations. (via WIVB)
Who knows maybe Mr. Lewin
Who knows maybe Mr. Lewin will become a productive business owner after all.
Yeah that looks much better.
Yeah that looks much better. (That was sarcasim.)
Maybe Mr. Lewin should donate the building...that seems to be an effective way of getting rid of something that won't sell while getting yourself some good press at the same time.
