You got me, George Watts! You got me! That’s EXACTLY what I was doing – I was advocating for more fast-food chains in Howell. Especially in that one line in my piece where I said, “we probably have enough chain restaurants now.”
Yes, when I said, “we probably have enough chain restaurants now,” I was actually advocating for more chain restaurants. Brilliant analysis, sir! Thank you for reading my work so carefully and for holding my feet to the fire! Thank you, George Watts!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take my idiot ideas and ride off into that Taco Bell Sunset!
The number one thing that we need is for Buddy Morehouse and his idiot ideas on fast food chains is to go away permanently. If you want all those low quality chains, move to Novi, they have them all there. I’ll take Brighton Bar and Grill, Mackels tables and Taps and pretty much any local establishment over any named restaurant on this list. Ride off into that Taco Bell Sunset Buddy
