The Cascade Saloon, an unsafe entrance and Greensboro City Council Member Nancy Hoffman


This is the view a driver would encounter trying to get by the Cascade Saloon Building to WORX restaurant behind it.

A car could easily get stuck in the tracks if driving to the back parking lot.


At a meeting organized by Nancy Hoffman and Roy's attorney Henry Isaacson, Hoffman, Roy, Robbie, Zack and two of the three rooftop venue owners convened in a private room at WORX restaurant, whose owners have planned an amplified outdoor live music spot, Robbie apparently said "make no mistake, we will live in a city where there will be no outdoor amplified noise, with this council or the next," who also said the GPAC is designed with an outdoor pavilion for amplified music within sight of his [former?] Center Point condo, on the other side of taxpayer funded Center City Park, which has amplified music, Robbie said he would help create the downtown he wants where everybody goes home at 11pm after the show, which would bankrupt multiples of downtown businesses.

The other venue owner not present usually has relatively Caucasian music and visuals on his rooftop, leaving the impression only those catering to African Americans were targeted.


If Greensboro City Council saves the Cascade Saloon, how many trains go through at what times of the day?

If the building is torn down, the road way issue would be resolved, if not, cars may likely have problems trying to park in back.




More than a year ago, Greensboro City Council Member Nancy Hoffman was presented with an idea for a public /private partnership which identified some blighted and available downtown buildings for the city to purchase and upfit, and then sell them to investors.

Nancy Hoffman bought the first one for herself.

It appears Mrs. Hoffman has partnered with the Momentum Group who owns WORX restaurant, which received $200,000 from one of Mrs. Hoffman's City Council votes, to purchase some of the other buildings she was shown.

The three buildings are on Lewis St adjacent to the $200,000 parking lot, across the street from a night club frequented by African Americans.

As the buildings have little parking, most visiting Hoffman's newly acquired properties look like they will park in the City Council created lot.
