Hey, jessi, are you still working; if so, part 1, how late; and, if so, part 2, do you want to try and hook up (no hetero) and walk the Bridge?? We haven’t power-walked the Bridge in a while.
Did anyone ever help DIBS out? I heard he was stuck in Thailand after a rentboy stole his money. [I can’t possibly read/catch up on this entire thread.]
Freddy’s Bar is not closing, it’s moving. We are presently in negotiations with a landlord who is not a billionaire at 4th Avenue and Union Street. We will be having a Victory party on April 30 to celebrate what the little guy has been able to do in fighting a billionaire and the corrupt government agency that he controls. We feel we have dealt fatal blows to Ratner’s organization. The Nets will not be sold to an international criminal, because the NBA can’t afford to be associated with organized crime.
Freddy’s Bar is not giving up the fight, we stand in solidarity with Prokhorov’s sanctions-busting victims in Zimbabwe, and with the people of Yonkers who are paying the price for a Ratner bribery scandal. We will continuing to stand against the corruption that has dominated our lives for the last seven years, and are looking forward to moving out from under this sword of Damocles.
Forest City Ratner will leave Brooklyn a thousand years before Freddy’s Bar does — they have missed mortgage payments on their Metrotech Center, and the Yonkers and Zimbabwe sanctions busting scandals are criminal acts. The question is will they run out of money first, or face prosecution first. I am sure that both will happen.
The move is about the employees, and the business. We’re little guys. We can’t run our business into the ground as Ratner has and still survive. We have a lot of mouths to feed and we are not billionaires. The move is strategic. Very soon Freddy’s Next Bar will be standing tall, and Ratner will be in rubble, with no stadium, and hopefully with justice and karma finding him. This is a guy who closed a family homeless shelter in the dead of winter.
In order to assure our capacity to keep Freddy’s alive in a another location, and keep people employed we have to move the contents of the bar in a particular timely fashion to lock down the next space, and thus we will not be facing an eviction situation in which a protest by chaining ourselves could happen.
The owner of Freddy’s has had to consider those employed at Freddy’s as well as his own situation, needing employment and food on the table. He made a difficult decision to pull out in such a way as to keep the contents of the bar and move it into another location. If we wait for condemnation we might sacrifice too much. I
We hope to open this new space as soon as possible, two or three months hopefully. The email address will not change, nor the web address.

Cobble, it was your basic day at the office; Jackal called us all a bunch of idiots.
