I think the bar and the TVs is what has kept them open this far. I ate there once and never went back.

All I have to say is...Amy kicked butt as our waitress...she paid attention to my kids...cut up with me and my husband and was jam up on the service...I HATE that she lost a job!! Hope someone with sense recognizes what a jewel she is....Jerseys was awesome until it was sold and then it went downhill...I will miss the burgers and my kid will miss the shrimp..SOMEONE BETTER GIVE AMY A JOB ... best damn waitress in Bville!!!

He don't get it. No more bailout. No more cut. Is Obama bad for business? Is Obama bad for America?
A bad idea for President. Bad economy $10 trillion. Bad health care $800 billion. Bailout $4.7 trillion. Jobs loss 598,000. $15.5 trillion in 20 years. Obama took 1 year to mess up.

oh well, it was a hoochie toot joint by night and then wanted to be a family resturaunt by day.....glad to see it gone!

Well that explains why, when we went in there on Friday evening, only the bar was packed and nobody acknowledged our existance.
We gave it 5 minutes and left and went elsewhere. But I'm sorry Jersey's didn't make it.

It was not the economy that killed Jersey's, but a lack of consistency. I went there once and got a great meal and then the next time a real dog. Several people I know experienced the same thing. That will kill a business in any economy.

you need a serious lesson in cause and effect.

I hate to see ANOTHER local business close. I was no fan of Jersey's, but they are just one in a long line of businesses closing... not good.

I noticed that the Hot Dog place was closed up yesterday, also. As far as Jersey's goes, the food was bad and the service was bad if you were not in the bar section!! Sorry...but they closed because they were bad, not because of some big conspiracy against businesss!

I heard the Hot Dog place is moving to Forsyth!
#16 Anonymous on 01/20/10 at 07:30 PM
the dog place has been gone for a long time - since summer i think. they didn't stay open but maybe 2 months, so they don't really count.

allstate insurance is gone too. went to shanes today and allstate was gone.

???whats going on in this town???
#17 Allstate Gone on 01/20/10 at 08:15 PM
Glad Allstate gone from our town because they call on telephone trying to sell something. I don't like that kind of business.
#18 Anonymous on 01/20/10 at 08:23 PM
Allstate moved to the old State Farm Office
#19 Anonymous on 01/20/10 at 09:15 PM
Another restuaraunt. Go out of business. Sonic Drive In, El Durango, Pastime Grill and Big Daddy Hotdog. Bad economy. A bad idea for President. Is Obama bad for economy?
#20 cats on 01/21/10 at 06:25 AM
What on Earth are you talking about?
#21 just an idea on 01/21/10 at 07:33 AM
Hey pal, please look into attending the Sylvan Learning Center, or at least check out Hooked on Phonics. They can help you with your incoherence. Or maybe the detox center can help....
#22 April on 01/21/10 at 07:46 AM
I don't like telemarket either. Most businesses don't even do it anymore and I think it illegal. I guess Allstate don't care. Bye Allstate
#23 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 10:57 AM
WHY DID ALLSTATE LEAVE BECAUSE THEY TELEMARKET?
#24 Allstate Gone on 01/21/10 at 12:47 PM
Somebody say they moved but I haven't seen them. Hopefully they done calling me on telephone to sell something.
#25 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 12:49 PM
You fail. Is Obama bad for economy? Go. Tell me? A bad idea for president.
#26 cmp on 01/21/10 at 02:24 PM
Allstate is still here. They are beside Big Chic now, they just don't have any signs yet.

It's the old SF office, but when they get signs, you'll see what I'm talking about. Trust me, they moved beside Big Chic in the old SF office.
#27 Paul on 01/21/10 at 02:41 PM
Their signs are up

#32 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 04:25 PM
omg really? How are you comprehending the internet? Did someone assist you with finding this site? BTW, I thought maybe the first time was a typo but "crasy" is spelled with a z not a s. Crazy, I know, you'll be ok though.
#33 Allstate Gone on 01/21/10 at 06:59 PM
Aaahhh, I finally saw the Allstate sign! If you stand across the street you can see it! I have gone back and forth on Forsyth St. everyday and had not seen it, but today at the PO I finally saw it.

Again, the Allstate (I like the blue color) sign is there afterall! Stand across the street and you can see it!
#34 Anonymous on 01/21/10 at 09:04 PM
Anybody know watever happned to that nice sign with the temp & stuff on it?
#35 Jenn on 01/21/10 at 09:28 PM
Retired from advertising sector years ago and can not help but comment. The Forsyth Street corridor is a fabulous opportunity for exceptionally high visibility. An entire exposure package, consisting of ONE misplaced sign, is tragic. For Peet's sake, one must wander across the street to even notice it. I am somewhat surprised that a company as large as Allstate does not have more experienced advertising team working with their field agencies.
#36 anonymous on 01/22/10 at 12:28 AM
Yup, Phillip Bell owns it and will be installing it at his new location.
#37 Anonymous on 01/22/10 at 05:34 AM
one of the reasons businesses are leaving are leaving Turner Plaza is the rent is to high.
#38 anonymous on 01/24/10 at 10:42 PM
And Big Chic ran out of chicken this evening...Go Figure...
