Smoking ban victim: Ragtime Rick’s
– (story) – So says the owner. “Ragtime Rick’s on Glendale Ave. will close at the end of the business day on Monday %5BNov 3%5D. Owner Rick Grafing says he’s lost about 40 percent of his business due to the smoking ban, and he can no longer afford to do business in Toledo. Grafing says he’s hoping to relocate his business to Maumee or someplace outside the Toledo city limits.” How many lesser-known establishments will tank that we won’t hear about? Toledo, Ohio, a small business-friendly environment. Makes me think of the Toledo sign design shot down earlier this year called: ToledOH!. Own a bar in Toledo? DOH! Should have kept that design. It’s more appropriate. Homer Simpson, Toledo City Council, I can see the resemblence. Maybe Rick will move to The Town Center at Levis Commons or The Shops at Gateway Crossings. – (29-Oct-2003 6:34 P.M.)
