Great job soccer.Had I had a little more notice about the meeting, I
would have been there right next to soccer tiki(Chris) at that meeting
asking additional questions.The bottom line is this is another typical
example of corporate greed.Its all about how much money they can make on
re-developement of prime coastal land.The new owner of the land that soccer
is talking about that was making this proposal, to the best of my knowledge
is the owner of Cannery Reality in Newport Beach.As if this clown doesn't
have enough money already.This guy has so much money he can afford to have
this tied up in red tape for years, because sooner or later he will get
what he wants, even if it involves greasing the wheel a bit.Think about
the millions he paid for the property, and then how many more millions
he will make if this all goes thru as planned.I was there when Trader Vics
in Beverly Hills closed, and saw what a travesty that was to go without a
proper closing.I am trully sad about the coarse of events that have taken place,
however I will continue to support Sams until I am the last one in the place
and the wrecking ball comes down, and they have to pry the Navy Grog from my
hand to get me out!!
