Did anyone notice that Jazzy Joe's is being gutted? I wonder if it's an expansion of Jalapeno's, as someone indicated here before.
It didn't take long ...

Yep, its true Jalepenos is expanding. They have been waiting for the courts for months to make the final eviction.

Sonia's not scum... OK, maybe by injection... but not innately...

She appears to be the "fall guy" for Joe Foley, who is the real scumbag behind all of this chicanery

A business fails, that makes someone a scum? So are the Causeway Panini people scum too? What if they can't pay all their vendors?
Stop tossing stones from your arm chair. Starting and running a business is a tough task not the faint hearted. They gave it a try, it failed. Happens all the time. |

A failed business doesn't make them scum at all. Stiffing your residential landlord in Rockport, your attorney, business landlord, and assorted creditors
does.
Being arrested for assault and battery in your bar for throwing a chair at somebody helps too. Did I mention that his now-deceased mother narrowly escaped eviction from a housing authority property because sonny "managed" (stole) all of her money?

...and then there is the little issue of hosting a fund raiser for the Lorraine fire victims and running off with the money.

I'm not defending them entirely, but I'm sure they didn't go into business to rip people off specifically. You go into business to make money,
it's obvious they could not and did not. I don't think it makes them scum. Lots of people are having financial difficulties these days. If someone
can't pay their rent or bills, doesn't make a scum bag in my book.
I don't know the parties involved to be able to comment on arrests and their dead mother, I looked at it from a failed biz standpoint only. So, if you are calling scum for personal reasons that you know of, insult away! |

If anybody is wondering where Mr Foley is during all this mess. He was doing 60 days in Middleton for Child Support and just got another 120 days for the same
thing his Bail if anybody wants to be a friend is $50,000+ that goes directly to his ex... I over heard this conversation between somebody
BTW anybody on here friends or know where the people who worked there are. I can atleast say the employees were good people who got screwed over in this mess. Wonder if they put JJ's down as last place they worked????

I feel really bad for Sonia. No way she knew what a dirtbag she was with. He sits in jail and she tries to mop up the mess. They never paid a DIME in liquor
tax. What was he thinking. And please tell me she is no longer with him.

I have never been to Jazzy Joe's nor do I know the people who apparently are losing their business for a multitude of reasons. You all seem to know them
and I think I am glad I don't know them.
What I do wonder is whether it is moral for the former lawyer of Jazzy Joes, that has gone unpaid to the tune of over 6k, to also have a husband that has been, and is, employed by Jalepeno's (which clearly wanted to expand)? This Jalepeno's employee is also employed by the City in a financial Management position, if you will. Let me make this clear, I LOVE Jalepenos and am glad they are expanding for my dining pleasure and think they run a top notch operation. It just doesn't seem really all that clean as in "inside information" on both the unpaid finances end and Jalepeno's expanding end??? Should the lawyer have taken the case under the circumstances? If it was a true ethical violation by the law, I am sure she would not have done so and would not be being represented by another well known lawyer now. Perhaps the two never talk shop at home because they are true professionals - knowing who they are, probably, hopefully, so. IMHO, it just seems too close to home or where one's "bread n butter" is going to be coming from when Jalepeno's expands. I would have passed on the case. Take what you want and leave the rest. It is just information that accompanies this closure that was left out of the paper perhaps because it maybe it has no relevance.The owner's of Jazzy Joe's surely did a lot more than not pay the lawyer or licenses, taxes, etc. according to all of you and our lovely GDT.

I am sorry, but there is no other conclusion but that they are BOTH lowlifes. Sometimes lowlifes are nice people.
There is no way that at some point, and I mean a long time ago, Sonia had to know that something was not as it should be. These are not people who are late paying due to financial difficulty, these are people who paid no one, including the state, including a charity, including their landlord, including their friend who put up her HOUSE. Business is difficult to be sure, I have been at it for 18 years and counting. Sometimes one is late paying, it happens, but this is simply not the case here. What we have here is a pair of people who do not recognize the concept of other people's money. They feel entitled to continue doing as they please no matter the consequences for others. |

Sonia does appear to be the hapless victim in many of these proceedings but that begs the question - was she duped by Joe Foley? If not, then she was banking
on things turning around, a most naive approach to doing business. So many questions, and she ran out of time. Sad situation, all around.

I know nothing about the JJ folks, but am happy to hear Jalapeno's is expanding. It's one of the best restuarants around and I hope this will be a most
successful venture.

I went to JJ's a few times and always experienced a strange vibe, like things weren't what they appeared.

I don't know about the possible conflicts of interest mentioned, but it occurs to me that this is a very small town (I know, Gloucester is considered a
"city", but that always seems so strange to me given it's size) and it well might be hard to avoid any and all "overlaps" of people who
know each other, work together, have some sort of connection, etc., in many situations.

Well, sure. The less we know, the less we're harmed by possible repercussions? I just love small-town justice. What a crock.
