Lark Tavern saga continues

JCE reported Tuesday that the owner of Lou-Bea's pizza notified the city he plans to apply for a liquor license to open a bar (Flo's Lark Tavern) at the Lark Tavern building. Here's the thing: Steve reports that Tess Collins says she still has a lease for the building and owns the name "Lark Tavern." [@JCEvangelist_TU] [Tablehopping]

Shame on all parties involved with this nonsense. Lou Bea's, DiNapoli, Tess.. all of them. Especially the lawyers.

I wasn't there, but I feel like Tess has a right to feel burned (no pun intended). I understand that DiNapoli was indecisive in the beginning, because he probably thought he was going to get more money by cashing in the insurance and razing the place. However, it seems sorta unfair to give another guy the go-ahead to reopen the joint after she gave up and moved to McGeary's. I don't know, like I said, I wasn't there.
