We recently reported that Francois Safieddine had filed with Excise and Licenses for an Under Age Permit for 5 Degrees, 1475 Lawrence St. Following two meetings with the Good Neighbor Committee which made clear that the Committee was not supportive of his plan, Francois withdrew the application.
And, just yesterday, Sports Book, formerly The Lure, pulled up stakes, literally along with some TVs etc., at 1434 Blake. But they are gone, to the apparent relief of the owners, who are owed considerable rent, and Dale and Valerie Chandler, the next door neighbors who have endured a lot over the last couple years. The GNC had tried to help find a workable solution to a bad problem, but it was the Sports Book folks who finally did it by leaving.
