[quote=Anonymous]I am very sad for Max, but I was at the ANC meeting where Rocklands' owner spoke, along with other people who knew the story. Max learned last fall that his lease was not going to be renewed, and that June date was always the end point of his 20-year lease. Someone at the meeting said there were up to three other businesses in line to move into the space beside Rocklands. The landlord has no doubt seen rents go up like crazy on the strip over the past 20 years and this was her chance to increase her revenue -- I kind of like the fact she choose a local business when there were probably chains waiting. I really don't see good guys or bad guys here, just three businessmen, two who were paying attention and one who was not. (My neighbor said she thought Marsha was the business-person.)

I'll miss pumpkin pie ice cream, but I'm glad we're keeping a local business and friend to the community. Basically, Rocklands is betting (again) on GP being a good place. I'd hate to see GP become all chains (actually, I'd probably move if it did). I think the neighbors should try to make sure that Max has a good last couple months and gets full value for whatever he improved.[/quote]
