Most Brilliant Legal Manuever EVER: "Hey, Judge. Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah. I'm still open!"


Just what we needed on Veterans' Day, a brand new episode of "As the Grandview Turns...."


Just got back from driving by Peoria's beloved Grandview Hotel. Today is the day it is suppose to close, by Judge's orders, for 30 days. Guess what. It is wide open for business. In fact, to the untrained eye, it looks like more than just a few guests or employees are calling the Grandview home. Either someone forgot to check their calendar or somebody is sticking out their tongue at the Judge. Smooth move. I hear judges appreciate being ignored. Nonetheless, nearby neighbors should know by now, it will probably take the National Guard to shut the place down.

Absent were neighborhood protesters, City Police, City Hall Attorneys, City Manager Randy Oliver, New Owner Chase Ingersoll, Old Owner Kris Jain, Third District Councilman Bob Manning, or self appointed neighborhood advocate Angela Anderson.

Note to self. Microwave some popcorn. Watch to see who wins the race to get on television first. My money is on Ingersoll in a photo finish with Anderson.
