I was pretty sad when Berliner closed. The B&G was pretty fantastic. Emile's was awesome. I remember one of the employees started a little place in Westport for a brief period. The Rhinelander has certainly kept the tradition alive though.
The fact of the matter is you can't create demand for lodging simply by building more lodging. I don't see how adding more rooms is going to help increase occupancy at said project. The fact that they awarded CSL with more contracts after their projections were exposed as off base, and the city council has failed to keep what are supposed to be independent consultants at arm's length, leads to believe the only thing we can do is wait around for the ballot box to open and vote "NO". Business as usual at City Hall.
The e-tax needs to go, no doubt, but the petition offers no alternative ideas on how to deal with the gap a repeal would leave. It needs to be slowly phased out rather than a immediate 100% repeal, but the petition makes no mention of any alternative ideas. It's typical conservative nihilism.
