That's why I said "More and More TALK about the SEEMINGLY shady owners of the diner". No facts on anything so far.I also said "all the talk of how WONDERFUL the diner will be when it opens". No facts on anything so far.Then, I took the two statements and made a big jump to "wonderful people who like to support shady business owners." Which was quickly negated by the statement "I don't care, as long as the food's good". Which is the way I feel about most places that I eat. (See my other references about restaurant health scores. I feel health scores or irrelevant if the food is good! That is why I support such places like Bagel Palace and Java Monkey.)Bottom line...there are no facts about why the diner has taken 9 months (or more) to open. There are no facts about the quality of the food at the establishment. And there has been no actions from the owner to get the word out about what is taken so long to open. (at least that I've seen.)If you have first hand facts, please share them with the rest of us and finally you will be able to single handedly stop all the speculation and rumors that are flying around.I have no facts about the diner, but if they do open in 2011 I will be there to support them.(Darn, I broke my pledge not to talk about the diner until they opened.)
