Benefit concert this Saturday and update on Mica builing

Looking forward to the benefit concert on Saturday, noon to 5 pm at The Old Town Hall on Summer street on the other side of the square, hope to see you all there. It should be a blast! Great musicians, great food from Pat's seafood and pizza place in Bristol Square, and our ice cream. We can't thank Lil, and The Uncle Steve Band enough for organizing this. 

The situation with the Mica Factory drags on. The Plymouth court ruled in favor of the town being allowed to demolish the building, but Suldenski has a few more weeks to appeal. If he does, I am not hopeful it won't drag on for a few more months, and I am very concerned that if he is given the right to do the demolition, can we be sure he will use a reputable company, so that it is done safely. I still find it hard to believe that there was no quicker way to get an unsafe building down. I saw kids skateboarding right in front of it yesterday, ignoring the police signs that the road is closed. The Reynolds family, (you all know Dawn, our amazing cafe server) lost their tenant who was also going to buy their building on the other side of the Mica factory. They are in a very difficult situation now, with no way to keep up the mortgage, and the insurance company refusing to keep covering their building. So far the selectmen have agreed to help with our extra rent, not by a long shot, the only extra expense that we are incurring. If it wasn't for the Fudge Factory, we would have gone out of business already.

Anyway, it will be great to party on Saturday, I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to grab my dancing partner and boogie down!
