Jimmy Mac's is up for sale

A restaurant that has openly defied the state's smoking ban is now for sale. Owner Rick Naylon is asking $125,000 for Jimmy Mac's, a restaurant with a bar at 555 Elmwood Ave. E.K. Henderson Assoc., a company in which Naylon has a minority ownership interest, would retain ownership of the building. The restaurant's equipment and other assets are for sale.
"Jimmy Mac's is for sale," Naylon said. "But because of all the pending legal actions, I'm really not in a position to discuss the sale at any length." On Monday, the five-judge Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in Rochester postponed a decision on Erie County's appeal of a State Supreme Court ruling that granted Naylon a six-month waiver on the state's Clean Indoor Air Act. The county also fined Naylon $2,000 for violating the smoking ban. Naylon has said that the smoking ban has hurt his business and made it difficult to keep the restaurant open. With smoking not allowed, drink sales have plummeted. Jimmy Mac's has been a fixture on the Elmwood strip for the last 23 years. In 1981, Naylon and his partner, Jim McLaughlin, bought the Shamrock bar. They opened a restaurant with a bar named after McLaughlin, who left the business after the first year. In its fight against the smoking ban, Jimmy Mac's had patrons sign a slip acknowledging that they are violating the state law and then took no action to stop customers from lighting up. "Unfortunately, smoking tobacco indoors in NYS is Illegal," the slips stated. "By law, we have to inform you of this law. If you decide to break the law, there is no fine or penalty for the smoker. Please sign below to indicate that we have informed you of this law." Naylon said his business increased by $25,000 from the previous month when smoking returned to the restaurant. |

This is the place where we had our meetings.
Buffalo Ping!
Ahh. The Elmwood strip. Those were the days
Another one bites the dust??
New York the offical home of the worst run legislature in any state Nation wide
Trust me. It could be worse
it's soooo liberal down there....
We need an Arnold here in this state.
A bit more spoken out tho !
well I can't disagree with you there..
Another one bites the dust. And "they" say that our economy is bad. No wonder!

LOL! I've know everyone of these people for years! heh!
Well they will all be viewing this thread, I sent them all an e-mail.
they don't care who they hurt as long as their aganda is advanced.
Sam Hoyt and Byron Brown both won their primaries.
We need to vote out all the incumbants.
I'll be voting for Dave Penna and with not much enthusiam Al Cappolla.
Sometimes I really wished I had stayed in the race for assembly.
I would have my face all over the papers, tv, radio saying that these incumbents did this to us...
Vote for Me!!
What a damned shame.
I have words for these gnatzies, but I wish to continue posting here, so I will be a good girl.
The slow and steady decline of Buffalo saddens and exasperates given the blind obedience that voters have to the demorats of the jimmy or tony variety.
So adios Jimmy Mac's, another in the long line of business victims at the hands of narrowminded nannyism.
The link below will take you to "you know you are from..."

A shame... a freakin' shame.
I like that saying! Golombeck did well against hoyt, just wait till the republicans and the golombeck voters vote for Penna. Penna's website.
same here!
I know it drives me nuts.
Here in this depressed area, hoyt and his minions push this law.
Then blame Bush for the lagging economy.
LOL on the link..
Calling all Ann Coulter fans:
Ann will be speaking with Janet Reno (yecch!!!) at the University of Buffalo speakers series in March 2005. UB has started showing some sense of fair play by inviting a few conservatives. This is in response to the many many conservatives who will not donate unless it does. (The Donald is coming September 30 for those who care)

I'd love to see Newt.
so would I!
Actually I'd rather get him to a bar and get his tounge loosened up and have him spill some inside information!
Doesn't surprise me...
In my neighborhood here on Long Island, at least THREE places have closed in the last six months (two pubs and one straight up bar).
They remain vacant, with soaped-up windows. All three had been long-time establishments -- one of them was in business as long as I can remember.
Gee, THANKS Pataki, Bruno, and Silver!

This entire anti-smoking era/campaign smacks of underhanded backdoor manipulation.
Economics over social control was once the rule.
I guess that was before the mistakes Hitler made were solved concerning anti-smoking laws.
This is really bad news. I don't know how many bars are going to have to close before people start figuring this out. Probably all of them, and these morons still won't care.
I will miss NY when I move from here someday, but not it's politics or the stupid sheep which populate this once-great State!!!
Girlie men should restore their own rights instead of looking for government to do it.
It is about time tha BUFFALO begins to FIGHT back!!
What losers we are if we do not fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This post is quite late....but I have been livid eversince the smoking ban!
We have to come together and fight tooth and nail!
Odd how businesses drying up everywhere the smoking bans have taken effect seems to please the smoke gnatzies.
Oh well, at least the air will be clean in the unemployment lines for many.
