  • To whom it may or may not concern, maybe our City Council or maybe us as neighbors. I am talking only about one local restaurant. Justin's or Home Kitchen. You know, the same building where the catering business is located at Monroe and Homestead. Hey Justin, and City Council. This is and will always be a perfect place for a restaurant as long as there is a competent operator. WE as local residents are not looking for extreme fancy food. Just look at other restaurants in the same area. we have a very nice Italian restaurant that does outstanding business, a excellent Japanese/ sushi restaurant and more. WHAT A WASTE Justin, that you open and close and open and close. Just stay closed! City Council, I suppose Justin leases this building or maybe even owns this space but if you want people to come and spend money and enjoy places to visit and want to see the Franklin Square area grow then we need landlords and business owners who will open to succeed and stay open. Yes it is the business owners right what to decide what to do but really? Open,close,open,close. What a waste.
