First the Tea Party Museum, then the Barking Crab... now this.

The Hood bottle better watch it's back!


Seriously, is no one investigating these 'coincidental' events? Or do the police have a hand in "waterfront development" also?

Wait wait wait, what happened to the Barking Crab? Did I miss something recently?

There is *extreme* pressure on it to move. It's considered an eyesore and developers want to build a bazillion dollar condo building there.

Barking Crab got shut down (though briefly) for food safety violations... mysteriously a week after refusing "offers" to move the crab to a different (IE non waterfront) location from the waterfront developers.

It wasn't the only one, either...there was another directly behind me. I think they're part of the clean-up crew. Keeping it environmentally friendly, no doubt!

Seriously...if this isn't arson, then I don't know what is. This property is so sought after...just look at the barking crab - there's major pressure to move it away from the water because that's prime real estate. There are so many salivating development companies hoarding around the JH property and the BC property it's not even funny. I _really_ hope a major investigation is launched.

Likewise. I know a lot of businesses that have been there for years are facing serious pressure now and frankly the timing of this just smells.
