      <![CDATA[From reading this article, here's a great point that clearly points towards a "conflict of interest" with Diradour's involvement..<br><br>"Diradour says he believes that Fanhouse can succeed as a restaurant without all the late-night bar patrons."<br><br>Diradour OWNS the building next to Fan House!!!<br><br>How is he to say how his "competitor" (next door) can survive or not business wise? <br><br>It sounds more like Diradour is losing "his late night crowd" because people actually would like to go a place that isn't a "dive bar"..

      <![CDATA[This is our opinion:<br>1) Whether a restaurant wants a bar or not, it is stricktly the restaurant's own decicion. It is solely between the restaurant and the City, any outside people have no right to interfere.<br>2) There should be a friendly competition and cooperation between restaurants.
