Crikey, not again
This came in my email today. I'd wondered about it, as the "For Lease" sign had once again disappeared from Rialto's marquee.

Meeting Agenda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Special Guest: Jason Beudert of Vista Hospitality & Logistics Group, who is interested in bringing "an upscale, alternative lifestyle entertainment center with nightclub qualities" into the Rialto Building (the old Moda space).
- This will be your opportunity to review this business plan and ask questions about the proposed establishment. Members of the block club will be invited to vote via secret ballot on their support or objection of the proposed liquor license transfer to the Rialto Building (1871 W.25th). Please be on time, as the meeting will begin promptly at 6:30 pm.
- Please note the follwing excerpt from a message on this subject from your councilman:
From: Joe Cimperman
Subject: Moda
Date: Friday, August 8, 2008 -
Bob, I did not, do not, nor will I, support a liquor license @ that address. Period. End of discussion. I do not believe a liquor license in this facility in any way, shape, or form is a good idea. I feel the need to be consistent here: if it didn't pass muster for the previous owner, if I didn't support Eric and Mac, why on God's Green Ohio City would this be any different? I wlll object until I stop drawing breath. Is this clear enough? Please feel free Bob to forward this to the block club.
Joe Cimperman, Councilman, Ward 13

Could this opinion be why Cimperman is all of a sudden the target of some scary stuff?
I can't blame him. When will developers get more imaginative?
Derek might be on to something here, especially since Cimperman opposed the Mirage and Spy Bar nightclubs. Although the Rialto Building (the Moda site) sits in Ward 14, Ward 13 Councilman Joe Cimperman has taken a special interest in this matter. My favorite quote from Joe is this one: "I will object until I stop drawing breath".
It looks like Vista is a restaurant consulting company. Does anyone know who the operator of the proposed establishment would be?
As native Clevelander, Arsenio Hall would say, it's just something to make you go....hmmmmmmmm.
I have to say Derek's thought crossed my mind even before the new club effort was announced.
A Heinen's would be wonderful in that spot :-)
I hope people at the block club mtg ask where the owners of the proposed club live, where the owners of Rialto live, where all interested parties live. It's easy for people to propose a club of that size in an area in which they do not live or work. IMHO.
And Christine the lemonade out of lemons part about all this is that it got you back on the blog :-)
