Community is the loser in closing of Mitchell's Deli in Etna

She won't go quietly.

That's what Lou Mitchell vowed when she heard a few weeks ago that the lease for her Etna deli would not be renewed.

"I'm not a derelict, and I'm not going to go away," she said. While she knows that getting a new lease for Mitchell's Deli is unlikely, she is fighting for more time to properly close her business and sell the equipment, which she said cannot be done by the time the lease expires at the end of April.

Sure looks as though those who "care" about the homeless don't want to spend the $$$ to provide renovations for acceptable living conditions. (Zoning standards that these same "careing" people usually advocate.) And a thriving small business that provides a valuable service to the local community suffers in the crossfire?
