I dislike the man. I am quite certain that Marquette University was also pushing him to take this position on the restaurant. He is speaking soon at the Aveneues West Association's, a neighborhood association, monthly luncheon about his plans for development in that area. Perhaps people should make reservations. All I ever heard is that he wants to bull doze that part of his district. Strange talk from an Alderman.

Is this what Bauman is trying to achive with his and his constituents policies? Well if this is what the area residents want, this is what they get. I am sure they are pleased that their Alderman has delivered what they want. I can bet the strip will look the same in the coming years. It is narrow minded people who for their own interests stop development for financial gain. I am sure Bauman and his cronies would love to get the city development dollars to buy those properties and then at some point make money by 'developing' them. I wonder how much Bauman would make in the whole scam process. I drove on 27th yesterday.. all I saw from Wisconsin Ave to the Judy’s location were closed store fronts, 7 boarded up stores and filth.

I can't believe it's been so long. It's clear that Alderman Bauman has cleaned up the area. I'm sure Bauman has a Ruths Chris Steak house ready to open their doors at the old Judy's. Just give him some more time. Obviously none of you understand how Chicago Style Hot Dog stands cause crime. Your manager was the brother of a freind of mine.

My manger is the person who was shot and killed back in january 1996. It was a life altering experience, that cost me my business marriage, and almost my sanity... To think that a man willing to invest his life savings, blood sweat and tears, to make a dent in a depressed section of a depressed city, is being denied a chance, based on a prior tenants failings, which actually is not the case is unthinkable. Wow,

This location (area)was the main freeway of thugs,, drug dealers,. thieves dating back to when Marquette was cleaning out all there low income people, pushing them West so that housing was available for the students.. I earned a living for my family for 14 years locking myself inside of a cage so that the decent people of the area can enjoy a quality product, at a fair price. After Bob was gunned down,, I just could not continue..

It was organized by people like Bauman's poodle, June Moberly, his pimp Keith Stanley, the owner of the Ambassador hotel, a strip joint owner, and others in the take for city grants. West something, the organization folded after milking millions of dollars from the city with blessings from the alderman. This is a prime location, and has the dogs drooling. They have offered to buy the place a few times, but the original owned declined, thus their ire. The "John's" of the neighborhood love to sit on their collective asses and comment on the state of affairs of their beloved neighborhood, yet surprisingly do not want to see any investment there! These are the same breed who are afraid to venture on their own streets. I read about a community walk, led by the alderman, it had at least 8 uniformed officers in tow of his highness, and a squad car following closely. Now who pays for the police time? and then they complain that there are not enough police to protect their neighborhood. I sincerely hope Khan takes all of them to court and sue their pants off and at the same time expose the mafia and corruption of the city aldermen. Do please ask Glenn, he knows about the corruption.

One would think they'd want someone willing to invest capital in a blighted neighborhood. But, like the myopic morons who got the Church's Chicken kicked out of another part of town, people like John will continue to drive people out and still sit back and complain about a lack of jobs and neighborhood blight while living in an upholstered Port-A-John they've helped to create.

Get serious, do you really think your neighborhood should be highly though of? The same place you refer to as "crappy? You and your alderman should have been the ones licking Khans boots not an investor who comes to your "crappy" area. If you are referring to the bunch of closed and boarded stores on 27th, get a life, go look around, get out of your hole, open your eyes and drum some sense into your beloved's head to get some or any business in the pathetic strip so you have some semblance of a neighborhood. Is your alderman paying you to respond? or is he going to grant you a "favor"? What you deserve you get. Good luck to you and your junkies and crap, I am happy for Khan that he never got into a place not worth his efforts, he and his family deserve a much better and safer environment. Do you seriously think that your alderman is a saint and doing all of you a favor by denying investors to come into the area? Think hard. Check out his poodle and his boyfriend who owns Ricky's and the ones interested in getting city grants through him and you will possibly see the light. Now be a good boy and crawl back into the hole you came from, and by the way, if Khan is a bottom feeder, I would advise him to get ready to feed the alderman from the same direction. Go for him Khan, you have my blessings. You deserve better. What the alderman and his constituents deserve are a few more city funded strip joints, porn shops, massage parlors, those are the businesses which the neighborhood really requires and would be a perfect fit for the area. Mr. Khan this is a Godsend opportunity, salvage what you can and develop a business in an area that merits and deserves attention, not 27th street, but if someone does have a death wish, its the perfect spot. John, you are unfortunate like your neighborhood.
