Since the Newest Office Building in Allentown fell into that sink hole on that same location a few years ago you really can see the other building clearly now.<br /><br />I remember filling the hole was like trying to fill the mind of a politician, it had no bottom. It as a deep empty dark hole.Gregg Heilmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-42380617950146392952011-11-07T09:48:22.395-05:002011-11-07T09:48:22.395-05:00"Toothless foreign jocks"
Wow!
I thoug..."Toothless foreign jocks"<br /><br />Wow!<br /><br />I thought things were Progressing Liberally here in America for such a naked Jingoist to be so bold, not to mention allowed, to attack a very core concept dear to the Collective. <br /><br />Meanwhile, it's too bad for Abe Atiyeh that Pawlowski's Palace of Sport will not be hosting a European team, who all disdain team logos on the front of the hockey sweater in lieu of generating lots of advertising revenue.<br /><br />Then, much like the late Libyan Colonel Mohammar Qaddafi did with his famous Boy Scout manual for Terrorists, "THE GREEN BOOK", and West German Bundesliga club ECD Iserlohn in the late 80s ...<br /><br />... Atiyeh could have his Alzheimer's Care logo splashed across the front of the Phantoms' game jerseys! <br /><br />VIKTOR TIKHONOVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-66568008087775862722011-11-07T06:42:23.499-05:002011-11-07T06:42:23.499-05:00Also will contribute to legal defense fund.

Why? Because he was a tenant and not the owner of the building. I am sure some where in the contract with the owner of the building a clause is stated in regards to sale of the building. So since the owner of the building is not suing the case with be thrown out. Atiyeh is grasping for straws on this and is gone to lose.FutureDowntownArenaAttendeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-58678275667609960762011-11-06T11:37:06.015-05:002011-11-06T11:37:06.015-05:00monkey momma, you're correct, the merchants h...monkey momma, you're correct, the merchants have moved on with their plans. some have made significant investments elsewhere. furthermore, we would own about 31 properties, which now would be off the tax roll. i don't see atiyeh taking this to the mat, but far enough so he gets well compensated for the sign. because of the gray area concerning eminent domain, the city has gone the extra mile (expense) to avoid a court case; i suspect they will again.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-13673830753619125612011-11-06T11:25:04.237-05:002011-11-06T11:25:04.237-05:00sign me up to contribute to the legal defense fund...sign me up to contribute to the legal defense fund.steelbreastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-9232951923843594232011-11-06T11:22:01.239-05:002011-11-06T11:22:01.239-05:00Thank god someone has the means to legally challen...Thank god someone has the means to legally challenge this arena. I don't know Atiyeh, so I cannot possibly judge the man, but I am very pleased he is bringing suit against the city. Even if it is over a sign. And let's face it - advertising space has value, so he should be compensated.<br /><br />"I suppose the status of a building in Allentown depends on the Mayor's agenda." - Truer words were never said! It's all about the mayor's agenda these days. Whatever happened to the invisible hand of the market and capitalism? Pawlowski seems to have adopted an almost mafioso persona throughout the years, deservedly so. This crazy arena shenanigan is just a another symptom of an out-of-control, unchecked mayor.<br /><br />Anyways, unless I learn something new about Atiyeh's motives or methods here, I hope he wins in court. But...haven't the existing tenants already moved and incurred the expense in moving? Aren't their lives already extremely distrupted? (Well, temporarily - I trust they can eventually rebuild their businesses elsewhere.) What happens to the old tenants if Abe succeeds, hpyothetically?Monkey Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804161916550923342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-86948165772975608792011-11-06T07:52:22.202-05:002011-11-06T07:52:22.202-05:00MM: any decent lawyer can poke holes in almost an...MM: any decent lawyer can poke holes in almost any project of this magnitude. The city has taken numerous actions each of which can and should be challenged as to process and procedure. I am confident they did not dot every eye and cross every t.

I wanted to do it here too. As you and I dont see eye to eye on many things, I will tip my hat for the research on this. <br /><br />I thought he had a floor or room leased, but when it comes to light that it is only a sign/billboard my disgust for this mans tactics have increased. Thanks again for the picture and research.FutureDowntownArenaAttendeenoreply@blogger.com
