Comments:
have studied the available information and developed an informed opinion
that results in a strong recommendation for this restaurant. The following
is a list of the top 10 reasons why you the City Council should vote to
approve HogThaid's request for opening up its doors in Del Ray.
1.The
HogThaid ownership team has a long track record of providing neighborhood
restaurants such as Mango Mike's, Ramparts and Big Fish providing services
to Alexandria neighborhoods. This team knows how to provide eating
establishments that cater to the needs of the community.
2. HogThaid
wants to be part of the local community and has done a terrific job in
patiently hearing out neighbors concerns modifying their business plans to
better fit into the neighborhood. Over the past several years I have seen
the ownership team function as an involved and conscious neighbor
supporting the local community on many occasions.
3. Alexandria needs to
expand its tax base and a popular neighborhood establishment like HogThaid
will draw people into the neighborhood to spend their money at this
restaurant and other establishments within our wmmunity.
4. HogThaid
supports the local community. At their Mango Mike location, the Hog Thaid
ownership team has supported many local charities and fund raisers for
local kids sports teams and youth in general. Clearly we can count on them
to give to the local community. As a trusted neighbor they can be counted
on to contribute to all kinds of wmmunity based activities such as the
numerous annual events, local schools and related activities, local sports
teams, artistic activities, e t.
5. HogThaid will provide jobs to
young and working adults within the local community. At a time when the
country is struggling to make its way out of a lifetime recession, we have
an opportunity to establish Del Ray as a premier family and casual dining
