I think the think that bothers people the most is that - at least from an outsider's perspective - it doesn't appear that the Council holds Asbury Partners accountable for either their actions or the contract originally signed. There has been too many loopholes, including those set up in the

Currently, we only have one viable movie theater, The Paramount. Not too many places that you can w
