<DIV>I don't eat at Lefty's very often, but I've enjoyed it when I do.
More to the point, this is an example of a tone-deaf, heart-cold approach to
business that can't possibly do Moscow any
good.<BR><BR>Keely<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT size=2><SPAN>WHAT? Protest. But the weird, uncommon,
positive type.<BR><BR>"Save Lefty's"<BR><BR>WHERE? Palouse Mall
Enterance/Lefty's<BR><BR>WHEN? May 2nd, 5pm<BR><BR>Come, carry a sign
for 5 minutes.<BR><BR>Get a free
shake!<BR>===============================<BR><BR>The
details:<BR><BR>By now the word is officially out. The Lefty
restaurant located in the Palouse Mall, the home of the vandalizer (a
now famous burger eating challenge) and the best shake on the Palouse
for many years is being forced to close its doors in the
mall...<BR><BR>The owners of Lefty's originally moved to the area with
the vision of running a small town restaurant. They bought Eric's Cafe
and changed the name to Lefty's. Over the years they have done huge
amounts of renovations, repainting, adding lighting, and just recently
they added booths to make the environment even cozier.<BR><BR>Now the
Palouse Mall Corporation seems more interested in large corporations
than small local businesses. This seems to have in part been also
responsible for the closure of other small shops, like the flower
shop, S&P Hobbies, etc. The sad thing is that it is the small
local places that are really a part of culture.<BR><BR>The word on the
street is that the mall plans to put in some large corporate pizza
joint.<BR><BR>Exactly what we need more of in our college town *weary
smile*<BR><BR>In talking to the owner, Ken, he really wants to keep
the restaurant going… and he is looking for another location, but he
needs to raise some money to help in that transition.<BR><BR>There are
two ways that you can help out:<BR><BR>Come to the Protest. There will
be free shakes provided to everyone who participates. There will be
fun signs, etc. So come and have a good time. The message of this is
to be a positive message of helping save the restaurant as a Moscow
icon. So, not down with the mall or anything like that. Instead, come
and have a good time.<BR><BR>Buy a Raffle ticket: In an effort to
raise some money to help with the search and transition to a new
place, Ken is hosting a raffle contest.<BR><BR>The raffle tickets will
cost $10 each, and the prizes are as follows:<BR><BR>5 Grand
prizes<BR>>> 1 year of free food, every day at the new
Lefty's.<BR><BR>10 Second place prizes:<BR>>> 1 year of free
food, once a week at the new Lefty's<BR><BR>20 3rd Place Prizes:
<BR>>> $25 gift certificates.<BR><BR>The raffle tickets can be
purchased either in the Lefty's store or in the next couple of days,
they will be available for purchase via Paypal at which point the link
will be posted.<BR><BR>In the unfortunate event that Lefty's is unable
to find a new location, the money will be given to the Community
Action Partnership, Christmas for Kids, or some similar
charity.<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
