<DIV>Lefty's has the best shakes, and only buffalo burgers in Moscow that I know of!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would not buy a lottery ticket out of fear that I would win the free food everyday. That could not be a healthy diet. Anyone ever see the Family Guy episode where Peter got as much free fast food as he wanted, and he had a stroke? That is what I thought of when I read that prize. Also, is the prize dependent upon the success of the business?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Paul Rumelhart <godshatter@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">They do have excellent shakes.

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 <BR>> Palouse Mall, the home of the vandalizer (a now famous burger eating <BR>> challenge) and the best shake on the Palouse for many years is being <BR>> forced to close its doors in the mall...<BR>><BR>> The owners of Lefty's originally moved to the area with the vision of <BR>> running a small town restaurant. They bought Eric's Cafe and changed <BR>> the name to
Lefty's. Over the years they have done huge amounts of <BR>> renovations, repainting, adding lighting, and just recently they added <BR>> booths to make the environment even cozier.<BR>><BR>> Now the Palouse Mall Corporation seems more interested in large <BR>> corporations than small local businesses. This seems to have in part <BR>> been also responsible for the closure of other small shops, like the <BR>> flower shop, S&P Hobbies, etc. The sad thing is that it is the small <BR>> 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 <BR>> 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 <BR>> going… and he is looking for another location, but he needs to raise <BR>> 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 <BR>> who participates. There will be fun signs, etc. So come and have a <BR>> good time. The message of this is to be a positive message of helping <BR>> save the restaurant as a Moscow icon. So, not down with the mall or <BR>> 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 <BR>> 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 <BR>> the next couple of days, they will be available for purchase via <BR>> Paypal at which point the link will be posted.<BR>><BR>> In the unfortunate event that Lefty's is unable to find a new <BR>> location, the money will be given to the Community Action Partnership, <BR>> Christmas for Kids, or some similar charity.<BR>><BR>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>><BR>> =======================================================<BR>> List services made available by First Step Internet, <BR>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <BR>> http://www.fsr.net <BR>> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<BR>> =======================================================<BR><BR><BR>=======================================================<BR>List services made available by First Step Internet, <BR>serving the communities of the Palouse since
