There are few real good ones out there. I am glad these folks got tossed on their rears because they lied and cheated the community, their customers, and their employees.

Verizon has been an unrelenting noise problem since they opened with no relief because Alpharetta allows them to. Our windows literally rattle at times because of their volume. 37 should not expect anyone in a residential area to put up with their noise and I applaud JC for having the balls to address it and finding a way to put it to an end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-81952935727298921452016-07-29T21:10:51.853-04:002016-07-29T21:10:51.853-04:00Edward Holcroft Anonymous Grinding Axes?Edward Holcroft Anonymous Grinding Axes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-90095353266195605812016-07-29T17:56:10.106-04:002016-07-29T17:56:10.106-04:00Wow anonymous ... whose axe are you grinding?Wow anonymous ... whose axe are you grinding?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044188375005420464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-82126695303979416562016-07-29T16:42:10.010-04:002016-07-29T16:42:10.010-04:00Plenty of open spaces around Gwinnett Place and pr...Plenty of open spaces around Gwinnett Place and probably cheaper rent.

They also had their landlord willing to front the costs at one time, but he figured out he couldn't trust them. They ALWAYS had the option to simply lower the volume - lots of us left there rubbing our ears! So all those basic options and they decided to close shop and bolt? If they were right, why didn't they stay and fight? If they were right, why run in the night? Even if they were closing shop, didn't they owe us, their fans one last big kick-ass party? Says a lot about them. <br /><br />I understand the Mayor courted them to come to JC. I understand the Mayor was a patron and loved seeing shows there. I understand he even tried to broker an agreement and brought the landlord to the table. Certainly not the Mayor's fault the landlord didn't trust his own tenants! But you folks don't read, and if you do you don't comprehend. You bring the billboard mess up and blame the Mayor; again, read some people! Fulton County screwed that pooch BEFORE Johns Creek EXISTED! the Mayor just did all he could to make the best of a bad situation. Watch last week's council meeting on-line, he explains EVERY little bit of what happened. But you won't read, you won't watch. You'll just believe and repeat Joe White's lies and spin. <br /><br />BTW, his club in Buford isn't a very far drive, go worship him there. Might check what some acts have said about his treatment of them, or check some of ex-employees about the way they were treated. But you won't.<br />Open and inquisitive minds are signs of intelligence. Closed and set minds?

They've been giving the Kroger on Holcomb Bridge & Barnwell (That shopping center is barely within the city limits, as there's only a about a 1200 foot section of Holcomb Bridge that is in the City of Johns Creek.) hell in recent months. They're trying to force them into a delivery curfew (11PM-7AM), which the store manager as well as Kroger corporate are not happy with. They've forced them to remove most of the items they had displayed on the sidewalk out in front of the store as well. Johns Creek could be losing that Kroger if the previously rumored plans for the one a few miles down Holcomb Bridge come to pass. vespajethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058640011590681625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-38455122420725582652016-07-28T20:10:46.740-04:002016-07-28T20:10:46.740-04:00People who worry about property values are the one...People who worry about property values are the ones with super high mortgages and no money in the bank.

Over 100 911 calls in two years, recently found guilty on 6 of 7 charges for disturbing the peace, owners with a ZERO cost fix that refuse to use it. Owners that want people to believe they have a license or permit for the sound production. Ever look at a business license? Ever seen one that states "you have the unlimited license to disturb the peace?" Nope, didn't think so. A license to do business isn't a license to force your neighbors to the point calling the police is the ONLY option. These guys planted here for the demographics, read that as the wallet size of JC, not because they wanted to be good corporate citizens of a thriving place. Bottom line, they closed up on Sunday night and snuck away BEFORE the vote on Monday.

It sounds like this place may be located near a residential area and that just possibly the residents are complaining about the business. <br /><br />Maybe it’s too loud or maybe it’s not I suppose that depends on if you’re trying to get you four year old to sleep and the music is distracting. What about when the late night patrons leave do they yell and scream as they burn rubber out of the parking lot. No, well most of the time no, but yes occasionally someone acts up.<br /><br />I guess my point is that bars and residential neighborhoods don’t belong together particularly in a suburban area. Maybe Johns creek made a mistake by approving this business in the first place. Again, I do suspect there are two sides to this story and wish we knew more details. <br />Hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60124048823045667472016-07-28T10:06:30.280-04:002016-07-28T10:06:30.280-04:00These stupid cities like Johns Creek form only so ...These stupid cities like Johns Creek form only so they can create their own police force and implement a Police State.
