I know he would keep the old charm as that is what he is into. It is really sad when people don't know him and automatically judge him by saying comments that are completely false. I hope that he does take over Bill's as I know it will be a wonderful place just like all his others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-33969983457077035212011-11-29T17:48:44.321-08:002011-11-29T17:48:44.321-08:00i'm still hoping it's just a rumor.i'm still hoping it's just a rumor.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-82941285238290058202011-11-29T17:26:51.129-08:002011-11-29T17:26:51.129-08:00the folks who own the business don't own the b...the folks who own the business don't own the building.

Where are the people with influence that have a heart for New York landmarks? Why is it always some new school clown taking over with plans for the next hot spot? There has to be an end to these tragedies.Woodfordnoreply@blogger.com
