you probably never heard of Oconomowoc either..LOL
It’s in Wisconsin near Milwaukee
No kidding.
Big changes in my lifetime about what’s acceptable, condoned, allowed or tolerated. Unbelievable. Unacceptable.
It must be those wild and wacky Amish “youts” on a rampage again.
It’s simple..If I can’t eat somewhere without fights breaking out, I quit eating there. Others follow suit and the business closes. It doesn’t deserve to be open if it can’t control this.
I avoided Mayfair even though I liked the place. Bayshore has a parental escort policy also. These folks destroyed Northridge.
That Denny’s is the worst restaurant in Wisconsin.
Well, there was the Chinese restaurant in Bay View where the health inspector found chicken feathers all over the kitchen....
But for overall bad food, terrible service and random fisticuffs, nothing beats that Denny’s. It doesn’t help that the hotels in the area are full of drug dealers and prostitutes.
And just how do you propose that a restaurant open to the public 'control' the idiots that break out in fights? They can't profile the customers. Armed guards would be considered racist by the usual hustlers that would point to other Denny's locations that don't have armed guards.
It is not up to a legal business to control society or patrons. If the people of the city can't control themselves the police should be handling the problem. Instead the police encouraged the Denny's to close during overnight hours.
Forcing a legitimate business to close because the people are animals and the police can't keep the peace is not good for the remainder of this city, or the area for that matter.
I think they closed most of those where you could actually fear for your life while eating.
If you really want to live life on the edge in Milwaukee - deliver pizzas.
At least they didn’t find cat fur like they found in Syracuse.
My father grew up in Oconomowoc.
Wisconsin’s nice but I’m getting sick of the cold and the taxes
Hometown pride! I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s about 1 mile NW of that location. My high school class of 1975, had 404 students of which 2 were black. I sense a demographic shift in the old ‘hood.
“It doesn’t help that the hotels in the area are full of drug dealers and prostitutes.”
And therein lies the problem, I suspect...
Don’t you just love Diamond Jim Doyle ? ;-P
tru dat!
I heard Jay Weber talking today that Tom Barrett (Uber-lib Mayor of Milwaukee) was whining about At&T's new cable service not being available in the inner city. Funny the things that get him riled up enough to come out of his bunker.....
Indian Jim ain’t no Indian giver...
he’s giving the tribes everything they want for gambling,never mind the countless stories of embezzling and stealing by workers and even family members
the casinos will gladly take it
This is almost as bad as the notorious Waffle House over in Brainerd.
When I was living in Miami, there was a Denny’s on Flagler, frequented by elderly Cubans, that made national headlines for “locking the doors” when black folk came around. What the media didn’t tell you is that said Denny’s had a huge problem with “yoots” coming down from Overtown and harassing the folks. The old Cuban guy who managed the place saw some folk who resembled (not just in race, but in other ways) those who had been causing trouble earlier. The local media made the poor guy sound like Lester Maddoxx, which is yet another reason to hate the media.
They should switch the security from dips to bouncers. Then toss in a chain link cage, like the McY D’s playground. Then advertise. When the fight breaks out, the bouncers can toss ‘em in the cage. That way the cops only have to be called once in the AM to make a collection. In the meantime you’ll have live entertainment and the cops on the O’dark shift will quit whinin’, because they’re being woke up.
