Nothing there makes much sense to me. Why is that business seeming always closed when I drive by every day? Has anyone ever shopped there recently or at all? When is it open? Gee dave, is it really that hard for you to figure it out? The store is closed just like the City of Streator wanted. Why else would they have declared my son who owned it an illegal resident when he wasn't? Now it matches many of the other closed down boarded over businesses in town, doesn't it? You sure do seem pretty obsessed with that one piece of plywood though, haven't you driven by the Northpoint Shopping Center over the last several years to see how many pieces are there? Been by the Majestic lately? There was a prospective owner there but our City Manager turned him away by hiding the requirements to open it, keeping it covered in plywood too.. Yes, our City leaders seem to like keeping places closed and boarded over, don't they? Since you seem so obsessed with the plywood, perhaps you can get together with Katie and have her use one of the expensive digital "cameras" that you helped buy and take a picture of it, do you think? You're just pointing fingers to avoid your responsibilities.

I am not sure what the codes are for vacant buildings. But I will say, it does appear that the code issues are only for some and others are not. It just seems to me that the Code are only for certain people to follow and not for others. Maybe the is Mr. Mitchell's point. You know what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Do you really think it is my responsibility to provide glass for drunks on bicycles to smash?

Doesn't the City have codes and stuff about boarded over vacant buildings? I don't know a lot about it because it doesn't effect me, but I thought you had to register vacant buildings and if you had them boarded you had to pay some fee and have some plan for getting it occupied again. With Kyle's building both commercial AND residential it may be subject to even more complications. I really don't know..... Again, the City seems to have too many restrictions, codes, fees, etc for my personal taste. I would want LESS Government intrusion, not more oversite. We have considered covering our windows on our own commercial property for the off Season. It makes some sense. Preserves expensive windows from getting broken, gives you a measure of privacy if you are going to launch a new idea for the store, may slightly improve heating and cooling costs, and allows you to display a temporary message like 'for sale, for rent, closed for season', etc. Gee maskedman, what are you talking about? My building isn't vacant. I have a residence on the second floor. I have been working out of town a bit, but I was just there yesterday and enjoyed some homemade ham soup. I will be there even more soon as I work on other projects.

Yes, as I've pointed out to nosy people worrying about what I do and pointing their fingers, there are buildings that have had more boarded over windows and for much longer, aren't there?

Now that they are selling tax bonds and handing tax gifts away to Greystone, who they seem to be in bed with, perhaps we should see the boarded over and broken windows at Northpoint changed, do you think?
What's next, will they also hand over tax gifts to Katie, who just bought the Majestic, so that those windows aren't boarded over too?

and Sally you should not be pointing fingers at dilapidated buildings whether it be a business or a home the way you take care of places.

Won't it be interesting to see if our City leaders support The Majestic with huge sums of our tax money like they did with their pet project at Northpoint?
I will be happy to see it open though.

Well now that IS news if Katie bought the Majestic! Let's hope She gets it going. I am sure it will take some work! Here is the link that confirms it: www.majesticshows.com/

I'm not sure of Streator Codes for vacant buildings, but in Dallas,putting up PAINTED plywood boards and securing a building was legal.
