Status of the "Hotel Lost Liberty" project This is a real project. To help the potential financial supporters understand where we our in the process a rough outline appears below. This will be revised as needed. Our ability to proceed can be improved with your financial support.
1. Ask the Town of Weare, N.H. what process must be followed to gain approvals to build a hotel.
2. Obtain plot maps and descriptions of the subject property.
3. Establish an escrow account to receive funds to support pre-approval work and funds to support post approval needs (construction and operating capital).
4. Establish a seperate legal entity to carry the project forward and receive the escrow funds.
5. Raise enough financing to support pre-approval work.
6. Create preliminary designs, gather information to support the economic viability of the project and find a company that built several successful hotels to oversee the project.
7. Make a formal presentation of our proposal to the Town of Weare.
8. If property is approved for seizure, and hotel is approved for construction, raise enough funding to build and operate the hotel.
9. Auction off the chance to drive the bulldozer.
10. Build it.
How you can participate (more fun, for real!): 1. Are you a powerful and famous radio talk show host?
The "Room-Fit-For-A-Host Prize" will go to that radio talk show host that causes his or her listeners to pony up the largest sum toward the hotel's construction cost. This will be accomplished by asking each investor which radio talk show host motivated him or her to invest. The honeymoon suite will be named after the winning radio talk show host and that host will be allowed to choose the books and decorations in the room (within our budget). Four runners-up will have regular hotel rooms named after them and also be allowed to choose the books, decorations and furniture in these rooms (within our budget). The radio talk show host that finishes last will have the bathroom adjoining the restaurant named after him or her.
Imagine if your favorite host wins! What decorations might be found in the "Rush Room"? Which books might appear in the "Larry Elder Room"? What creature comforts might be enjoyed in the Bill O'Reilly Room? Do we dare to think what the "Howard Stern Room" might look like? Who will win? How will they decorate? The world awaits with baited breath...and a new reality show is born!
This contest is open to all radio talk show hosts. We will announce which radio talk show hosts step into the ring as it happens...
2. What should we serve in the Just Deserts Cafe* (the hotel restaurant)?
We have received some creative suggestions: Chicken Seizure Salad, Souter Soup, Goose and Gander Sautee. And for dessert Logan's original item...Crow Pie. But we need more to complete our menu. Send your ideas to "menu@freestarmedia.com". Include the name of your menu suggestion in the subject line.
*Name changed to clarify what we are really serving.
The Ten Commandments must be posted in a prominent place at the hotel...perhaps also in every room?
Well, they need a professional present to supervise. I nominate the guy who squashed Rachel Corrie. (He could come in handy in the event, however unlikely, that Souter tries to defend "his" property.)
"There is nothing to stop someone else from filing another plan on for Mr. Souter's property."
You are sooo right! ! In fact, there should be competition for that land, because every project will require a response as long as the filing fee is paid. Bed and Breakfast, Gas Station, 7-11 - They'd all make more tax revenue. How about a topless joint? That would be a pip. This could become the most expensive little piece of land around!
Can I ask the moderator why my comment #45 was pulled? Was it because I offended politicalwit by namecalling? If so, I apologize, it was in response to his calling freestar an idiot.
If it was because I inappropriately addressed the bribery issue regarding the Souter property, can you give me some guidelines?
Well, I do have to say that Logan has done far more for "consciousness raising" on property rights and the Foul Five's most recent treason than I noticed in your posts.
Might I ask why the ad hominum attack on him?
New Hampshire could pass a constitutional amendment forbidding such takings. Hopefully, they will pass it shortly after Souter's house is bulldozed.
"Might I ask why the ad hominum attack on him?"
Sorry if you see this as an attack on him. After listening to him on Fox it just appears his motives are more self-serving than for the good of the nation. I see him in the same vain as John Walsh on "America's Most Wanted."
BTTT 4 a good cause............
I see him more as a 'Larry Klayman'.
They would if a cousin were involved, unless they're a really unique board of selectmen.
This is absolutely BRILLIANT for exposing the horrors of this Supreme Court decision. I haven't seen anything so clever since Hillary stiffed the waitress, and we all sent Trish a tip.
This is the kind of thing it's going to take to institute change...humor, guts, and intelligence.
bookmarking and pinging
I see your "ping!" and raise you a "Bump!"
:-)
You can apply for a spot rezone or a variance in zoning.
Happens all the time.
Dear Board of Selectmen:
I strongly urge you consider The Lost Liberty Hotel project to replace Judge Souter's home. I for one would make it a point to visit Weare and patronize the hotel and local businesses. Because of the new version of the Fifth Amendment proclaimed by the Supreme Court, it's appropriate to commemorate the loss of personal property rights in such a manner. After all, we can no longer "live free" in our own homes.
Thank you for your consideration.
Green(with envy)jello should definitly be on the menu as a light desert item
oh i almost forgot a nice big bowl of covet thy nieghbors cottage cheese as an appatizer
