Well, this post is not gonna be easy to write!
September I moved my whole life(& my kids!) to come up and take over something I didnât know had so much damage done.
Between my parents pre-me damage, (yes both of them! Neither one is more innocent than the others despite what haters say!) the never ending talking s**t from past patrons and bartenders alike, (I said what I said!) and everything and anything else that has been thrown our way, we have tried and tried more!
Iâve put every bit of money into this place that I came with, help from Gram, and every penny from my tips and business back into that place! Because next month was gonna be better! đ For months! While everyoneâs âboycottedâ it over race pool money that I had NOTHING to do with. (I couldnât make it right if I tried, because I donât know the exact details or money involved!) or the fact that it was not a good place because of other things that happened before I got here! Which for the record, that was never allowed when I was here!
We had plans to change the concept that others were excited for! While trying to do all that, we found out some stuff that was beyond our control at this time and have no choice but to close the doors! The state says I canât open the doors!
A few things have came out of this! The biggest is that I know we still had the best wings and burgers in the area! Hazzyâa isnât being looked at for the new community center! (Thanks tooo the taxes being paid in full!) and lastly, this isnât closing because of anything I did! I couldnât fix Hazzyâs and thatâs ok! Hazzyâs time had run itâs course!
20 years Hazzyâs (John and Cara) dedicated their lives to a place that sooo many of you have memories or stories of! 20 years of helping others, supplying the building, catering, booking entertainment and back room parties! 20 years of benefits for their friends and others, life celebrations, and if you needed a hand, they were there! Nobody ever entered Hazzyâs and left a stranger! 20 years of celebrating holidays with their bar customers rather than their family because some of them didnât have a place to go! I could keep going, but Iâm pretty sure you get the gist!
Good people fall! But when you live in a town that everyone would rather talk about everyone elseâs skeletons than face their own, you end up with a town full of âbetter than thatâ people. Instead of helping their friends, they pretend they donât know them! In reality, I may have been gone for a while, but I know a lot of history about a lot of people in this town! (I bartended here faithfully every Saturday night for 8 years or so!) & lastly, we live in a town of hyrpocrites! I said what I said! Hypocrites are in ever bar around here! I see you. Iâve just kept my thoughts to myself because it isnât flattering for business! đ
I may not have been able to fix Hazzyâs and that doesnât sit right with me, but it wasnât for the lack of trying with everything against me! I will return, but it wonât be Hazzyâs again!
Iâd like to thank the ones that came in and gave us the fighting chance! The ladies, Scott and Lorainne, Royal and Sarah, Don, Jordan and all his friends, Holly and Adriana, Marissa and Ron, Bubba and Lorainne, Angela and Russel, Greg and Melissa! Little Greg! Melissa and Russ, Kelley, Karen! I know I canât possibly name you all, but I am thankful for you all! Someday, somewhere I will sell you wings again! đ
