We...Another comment about Ben & Jerry's ... We have been asking for this sort of improvement to our neighborhood for so long, yet the insensitivity of St. Xav's to the hundreds of police families in this neighborhood is astonishing. What a slap in the face to the police officers who live and work here. Couldn't they have come up with a better alternative, considering there's a new ice cream shop down the street ? The fact of the Mumia/Ben & Jerry's connection is that Ben Cohen, as a private citizen, signed a petition for a retrial for cop-killer Mumia. This being said, Cohen is a co-founder of Ben & Jerry's and will reap the benefits of profits from any of their stores. Therefore, if you patronize Ben & Jerry's on 111th, the money eventually goes into Ben Cohen's pocket. The falsehood is that as a COMPANY they've contributed to Mumia's defense fund. So, what police family wants to put money into the pocket of an individual who even THINKS about supporting a cop-killer? I know I don't. As much as I want to see great franchises set up shop up and down the main streets of Mt. Greenwood, I can't help but think twice about where I'm going to take my kids for ice cream. What would you say if Mumia killed one of ours? Would you be so willing to support Ben & Jerry's if the deceased Officer Faulkner was your husband/wife, your brother/sister ? Wake up people. Progress is great, but at what cost ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-10838727007803099432009-07-08T19:03:07.222-05:002009-07-08T19:03:07.222-05:00Don't eat ice cream.

I want to say, I was at JR Boz's and they don't take credit cards, but their prices are 10x cheaper then any other ice cream parlor in the area. I have also seen that when people come in, order and want to pay with a credit card, the owner lets these people walk out WITH THE ICE CREAM, in GOOD FAITH that they WILL return. Do they return? I don't know, but I have never seen any business that will do that! So say what you want, go there or don't go there, that shop is truly a step back in time, when people were trusting, and took care of each other, the way the neighborhood has always been.<br />As far as Ben and Jerry's go, I read the links, yes they are cop killer supporters, and this is a joint venture with St Xavie, it is called a partnership so they tach teach people to work that can;t get job anywhere else, so while we are pointing fingers at where the BANGERS are going to be hanging out, they will be at Ben and Jerry's Hanging with the friends working there. o Ben and Jerry's is making money off that store. <br /> <br />PS JR BOZ's takes checks TOO!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-25188951729422409322009-07-07T09:37:08.058-05:002009-07-07T09:37:08.058-05:00At Jewel (103rd & KZ) last nite, young man app...At Jewel (103rd & KZ) last nite, young man approached me for $$ for groceries.
