Strickland's Landing closes for business [killed by death tax]

You are absolutely right. Because these people chose not to have a LLP, they did not pay taxes over the years. Thus the estate taxes. I owned my own business for 20 years. I paid my taxes. In the end, the government is going to get theirs. Sad, but true. Also estate planning and wills are not costly nowadays. Especially with the economy, lawyers are hungry. Let this be a lesson to all the people who tried to screw the government. Open a LLC or LLP. It is not very costly. By the way, I lived in the area for 40 years and never went to Stricklands. I don’t agree with most of the things the government is doing but this man’s blatant disregard for the government has come back to bite him in the “Booty”.

I spent a good part of my youth at Strickland's. It was a sad thing when it closed.

I did as well. Wholesome family fun. Thanks for the great picture. It really brought back fond memories.
