Author    Post   Tegan F L I N T O I D Has anyone else noticed all of the downtown buildings that have burned in the last two or so years? First the theater in Owosso, then another downtown building in Owosso, then the big one in Linden, then almost a year ago in downtown Flushing, and now the old Opera House in Flushing... Both of the Owosso fires were declared arsons that started in a stairwell. The one in Flushing today started on the ground at the back of the building. (to be honest, it might just be kids smoking, but still... ) And that doesn't even count the Granc Blanc Fitness Center and the Upnorth Lodge. Grrr. I'm angry.

You've got me wondering, Tegan. _________________ Whatever...

Sadly, we had decided that would be last time we'd dine there [little did we know how correct we would be]. it had really changed, and not for the better. Food was mediocre and the service worse. The waitstaff seemed to be all inexperienced teenagers, and we noted a definite lack in the decor...like they had really taken some of the furnishings out. The bar was full of loud drunks which detracted from the ambience in the dining area nearby. I saw afterward it was in the process of being sold. I bet the insurance company takes a long look at the situation. Too bad, it started out great, and we really enjoyed going there initially. Such is the challenge of food service especially in an area that is not growing, but losing income AND population. _________________ Biggie Mon Apr 21, 2008 7:08 pm    Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
