HoJo's "…some other agreement was reached whereby he could stay m-m until Fishman kicks him out."
George had the `deal' with the city for roughly 40 years. 2 possibly 2 ½ years ago The Fishman bought George's liquor license and business for $250,000. George still runs the business on a mm basis, The Fish still has the $250,000 in his bank account and George still wonders when he'll see the money. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The Hojo's lease - if still with the city - is public info.
