| 25.1 | Bad Reputation | BEES::PEARCE | Linda Pearce | Tue Nov 11 1986 08:49 | 11 |
| That video store has a bad reputation as a business.
They are the same ones who up and moved overnight from
Sudbury without notifying their customers. There was quite a lot
of coverage on that in the local paper.
They may reopen when the mall is complete. But, I personally would
not want to do business with them. They're unpredictable.

| 25.2 | Bankrupt? | JON::MORONEY | Welcome to the Machine | Tue Nov 11 1986 09:06 | 6 |
| They may have gone bankrupt, and the business is at the stage where the owners
are trying to convince a bankrupcy court to allow them to go Chapter 11 and
reopen. I've seen similar mysterious closings before, with equally mysterious
signs on the door, and each time it was a bankrupcy.

Speaking of video stores, the Video Paradise ain't so hot, either.
I got a harrassment call from them about some X-rated tapes that
they rented to somebody in my name. When I explained that 1) I
haven't rented from them in over a year, and 2) that I didn't own
a VCR, they were all huffy about how I should have called THEM to
cancel my "membership", which is free....

| Re: .2
They are definitely in some form of bankruptcy proceedings. We
received a phone call from a bank or lawyer who was tracing down
assets. Their records indicated that we had not returned 2 tapes
(which we had done many months ago).
I'm not sure how "unreliability" factors into a lousy videotape
store. I don't consider the renting of videotapes to be a terribly
quality-oriented business. If they go under, the most I have to
do is walk another 25 yds to the next five&dime store - nowadays
everybody rents the stuff.
It's not as if these folks are selling cars. If your taken in by
"lifetime memberships" well then you might have a case. I think
P.T. Barnum had a saying though..

| 25.6 | it's GONE now | JON::MORONEY | Welcome to the Machine | Tue Dec 09 1986 13:12 | 4 |
| No, the store that used to be between Brooks Drugs and the restaurant (ex-Greek
Village, ex-Copper Kettle, does it have a name now?)

| 25.7 | strange... | REGENT::GLEESON | Sue Gleeson | Wed Dec 10 1986 09:41 | 5 |
| I think the restaurant has gone BACK to the Copper Kettle!
Anybody know WHY?
|
| 25.8 | Sounds good to me | SYSENG::MORGAN | | Wed Dec 10 1986 10:02 | 5 |
| The Copper Kettle will be opening again shortly (possibly next week).
From what I've read it will have the same owner as before but the
menu will have more variety.

| 25.9 | Maybe they'll invest in some spices...nah... | ETHER1::G_SCHULTZ | Geoffrey Schultz | Wed Dec 10 1986 12:52 | 5 |
| Re .8 I assume by reply 8, that the food will be just as bland and
tasteless as before. Oh well, maybe some day a restaurant worth
eating at will open there.

| 25.10 | GOOD COOKING | LOOKUP::ROVINELLI | | Thu Dec 11 1986 15:52 | 25 |
| The restaurant will be opening on Monday, Dec. 15th. The owner
is the original owner before it changed hands. Tom Gove. The food
will not be the same bland food. There will be daily specials for
lunch and dinner.
Some of the food that will be on the menu:
Fettucine Alfredo
Veal Parm
Chicken Parm
etc.
If I remeber I will get the specials for Monday. Please don't bad
mouth the restaurant till you try the food. I know for a fact
that both cooks know how to cook. Seeing one of them is my
son-in-law and has made different dishes for me at home. Homemade
cream of broccoli soup, fettucine alfredo, veal marsala, to name
some of the dishes. Wish he would learn how to make small portions
when making them at home.
Why don't you try the food, before you say anything. Of course
everyone won't like the food or have different taste.
Like I said if I remember I will get the specials for opening day
and post them here.
