It is with bitter feelings toward the city of Cleveland that I have to tell all of you friends and patrons that I have had to close my businesses at the West Side Market. It was a very hard decision and thing to do, but I have to think of my family and well being first. After 36 years of blood, sweat, and tears, (that are forming now), I am sorry that it took so long to post this. It is hard to say good bye. But because of total lack of management from Felicia Hall, horrible slum lords that the city of Cleveland is thanks to mayor Frank Jackson, and worst of all, the lack of fortitude and complete disregard and understanding from Director Michael Cox who in my opinion is a real joke. After spending most of my life as a "marketeer", this was the last thing I wanted to do. But I had no choice. I planned on retiring with my West Side Market family and friends that I have provided excellent meals for years! The deplorable conditions they had me working under is totally unacceptable. They raise the rent every year, raise the licence fees, raise taxes, screw up the parking lot and parking in general, where does it end? Well it just did.
I want to thank all of my followers, patrons, customers, friends, and family for being loyal for all these years. It's you who I totally appreciate and will miss the most!!!
