So, other than people comitting murder at the bar, what other reasons has the PCLB cited for wanting to close the place?

Smoyer said this was the first shooting in the bar since her mother bought it. She now hopes her mother will sell the place.

"I work here sometimes off and on," Smoyer said, adding she probably won't go back. "But the people in Allentown are just getting crazy. It's just scary."

Any establishment that attracts people to shoot up the place is one crime too many.

Shut the place down.

This daughter is delusional if she thinks the police were called there only 3 or 4 times in two years!

This place needs to go....it attracts criminals and thugs, and Trinkles is just a haven for them.

Just in the past several MONTHS-according the MC archives. So imagine all the calls that were NOT in the paper:

1-31-08 man shot dead
3-24-08 bullets hit bar
4-25-08 man arrested there made threats and had stolen gun
4-17-08 wanted woman found in bar with drugs

lol ok delusional? want to read the liqor complaint hun? and boo hoo, grow up Joe. Least she makes great money and thats what a business is all about, MONEY.
Everyone can say anything they want, but too bad we will come out on top.:) We always do.

and this:
1-31-08 man shot dead
3-24-08 bullets hit bar--THAT WAS FALSE, IT WAS A CINDERBLOCK.
4-25-08 man arrested there made threats and had stolen gun---HE NEVER MADE THREATS, FALSE.
4-17-08 wanted woman found in bar with drugs --THAT IS THE GIRLS FAULT, NOT THE BARS--
WAKE UP. THE MAYOR IS MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS THAT IS WHY....TRINKLES ISNT THE ONLY BAR HE IS TRYING TO SHUT DOWN.
I love how people think they know what they are talking about.:)

I also want to advise how my letter was editied.

Southside deli has sooo many problems, Omalleys my friend was killed at, STILL OPEN--because its not in center city? I think people are just racist against other races in the area down there and because they dont have alot of money.

funny, they wouldnt print my comparisons. there were many more which i dont even feel like typing. whats the point, most of you negative people haven't a clue.

Yep,said after I was in a complete dazed shock. if she sells it, hey great--but to shut it down and take away someones business is ABSURD. And yes, Allentown is scary--the city itself, not the actual bar.

DON'T FORGET THE WORST ONE SWEETHEART!

Kwame Massina, 27, no address, was nabbed after members of the emergency response team surrounded a Center City home for more than an hour Wednesday night. He is charged with homicide in the death of William Spearman, 35, of 313 N. Seventh St.

Spearman died about an hour after being shot in the neck early Jan. 31 inside Trinkle's Cafe, 533 W. Turner St.

S-H-I-T-H-O-L-E Bar with a lousy location. Thugs-N-Drugs is the norm. Not the bars fault...True...then explain how you are going to change the hoodlum clients?? Gonna be very hard to shake the Reputation of the place.

YOU haven't a clue. Trying to make poor excuses for a crime haven??

Those calls were legitimate police calls and only ones printed in the MC from the last several months.

The police respond there numerous times a WEEK for disturbances, threats, weapons violations, public drunkeness, assaults etc...need I go on?
