Wonder what they’ll charge for the Holeman & Finch burgers at Turner. About $25 each would be in keeping with the massively inflated concession prices.
I also wonder if H&F will be required to serve everything stale and cold, like all of the other concession stands at Turner.
Not to get off on a rant here, but if you are a ballpark and you can’t get hot dogs right, you should go out of business. Everyone involved with concessions at Turner Field should be tried for malpractice.
Will Holeman & Finch (not Fitch, by the way) only serve 24 burgers at the game and then close up shop? They’re going to need a bigger grill.
They’ll probably up it to at least 100. But at stadium prices of $50 a pop, they’ll still make a nice little profit by the second inning.
Greg Coleson’s comment in the ABC that Decatur should adopt a green building ordinance before 315 WPonce moves forward is not well thought out.
There *may* be other valid reasons to stall 315 WPonce, but the absence of green building ordinance isn’t among them.
I’m certainly not an expert in that area, but I could see the potential of a legal challenge if there was an attempt to delay the project and then force it to conform to a new ordinance. Keep in mind that the original project that was scuttled did bring about a change in the parking requirements and other zoning regulations.
Me,
I didn’t take Greg Coleson’s comment as an attempt to stall the project. In fact I think it’s a great idea to review before we have a flood of projects going up in COD and wished we had done it. I hope the City is thinking along the same lines for that and any other ordinances that might need to be updated.
