Today's lunch was at Mother's Chicken and Fish on Ellicott. After our meal, owner Tim Chugg and I started chatting.
He's pretty upset that the new brick bench across the street from his store, outside the Pok-A-Dot, remains unfinished several months after the project was started. There's been no sign of progress all spring.
I checked with Don Burkel at the BID, and he said there's an unresolved issue the DOT holding up the entire Ellicott Street project.
"We're anxious to get it finished, too." Burkel said. "We hope to have the entire project finished by late spring."
That seems dangerous and I
That seems dangerous and I bet it affects business for the polka dot. If i was the owner i would be livid about it. Dont start something you cant finish !
