Our Latest Episode Episode 094 Dialup version
The sad case of Tamara Finocchairo and her castle /
The Pythian Castle- 55 rooms, historic, theater, ballroom, haunted, fascinating.
A perfect B&B, Convention Center or Dinner Theater venue.
But the City of Springfield won't let it happen./
When someone tells you that local government is more responsive and adaptable, remember this story. /
All the owner wants is to run a business, employ people, pay taxes and make a profit./
5 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to comply with conflicting,
illogical, unreasonable, and just plain stupid regulations, demands, and orders.
You have a problem with that little lady?
