New battlefield for Fridays@3rd Street war: Court
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sat, 09/11/2010 - 10:40amThe dispute between the Mom & Pop's Diner owner Doug Cramer and Brewery Arts Center director John Procaccini is heading for small claims court.
I wrote about this dispute back in June, adding to the story from the Appeal on the subject.
In short, Cramer signed a contract that included a diagram that showed where the bars operated by Mom & Pop's and Firkin & Fox were to be located. But those locations were changed in a way that Cramer claims was detrimental to his business, cutting off access to the bulk of the crowd. Procaccini admits that changes were made to the bar locations, but doesn't agree that the changes constitutes a breach of contract.
