"I Heard That" -- Battle to Save Powell's Place Continues ...Rochelle Metcalfebyline‚ Nov. 07‚ 2007PAY OR QUIT!! Yesterday, Emmit Powell, owner of Powell’s Place, LLC, had until close of business to pay $125,000 in order to satisfy back rental debts owed landlord Laramar Management Services, LLC, a Limited liability company based in Chicago, owner of the Fillmore Center!! Failure to comply, action would immediately be enforced to recover the property! That's the bottom lime! As late as Tuesday, Rev. Amos Brown and Task Force Committee to Save Powell’s Place, have been scrambling in emergency meetings to raise funds through individual donors, churches and investors (heard a rich money man has been approached to help cap off any shortages). Moneys have been deposited in the Ujima Fund , embracing one of the Principles of Kwanzaa -- Ujima means Collective Works and Responsibility. |
