Pat Cloonan has the full story in tonight's Daily News:
"Now, there is a chance that we can make a few bucks so my wife can go to a rest home. I don't give a damn about myself."
With those words, an 86-year-old Italian immigrant capped a brief forum last night before Homestead council took over the fate of the bar he bought in 1947. ....
By a 9-0 vote, council accepted Historic Architectural Review Board's recommendation that Anchor Properties receive a certificate of appropriateness to demolish Chiodo's, as well as a Subway sandwich shop and a Shell service station along W. Eighth Avenue and Hays Street.
The vote was not one of approval for what will replace the three businesses --- a Walgreens pharmacy, a new Subway and a parking lot. That will require another round, beginning next month with Homestead Planning Commission and ending, possibly Oct. 14, back before council.
