Bingo Stevo! Piragis, who parachuted into Ely with the idea he was going to re-invent the community in his own vision, owns the Chocolate Moose Cafe on the West side of town, closes the thing down in the Fall. All the old timers in Ely are wanting a place to have coffee in the morning year round, but the Chocolate Moose effectively took away enough business from Vertin's (a long time cafe in Ely) by taking away precious dollars in the summer, depleting Vertin's from enough cash flow to survive. Does Piragis care? Heck no.
Packsackers. What's the long time definition up here? They are people that come into the community of many generations old residents and impose their will on the status quo. They refuse to assimilate into the community. Instead, they create divisions, just like that propaganda office they opened on Sheridan Street. Now Bob and Lil Cary came to Ely from Chicago. They instantly assimilated into the local culture and were adopted as though they had been here forever. Same with Frank and Betty Salerno, who also came from Chicago, and blended in and actually became some of the strongest advocates for our way of life up here.
The authors of the LTE are unwanted packsackers and the sooner they go away, the better off we all will be. Timberjay editor, please take note, and try to shed your packsacker status by joining us, not fighting us on multiple use. You'll sell more papers that way and get more advertisers too.
