"Closings & Movings"


For all my local readers here is the DISH on the local businesses in the area. Some places closing their doors. Others moving around.

Well some of my readers might know that I have a “ban” on Sharkey’s on nights that they have a DJ. Sharkey’s a place ideal for cheap beer and some good wings is a good spot to go if you actually want to hear what your friends are saying. However recently they decided to have a DJ there on the weekends and it might even have spread to Thursday nights. I had hoped it would flop, but I drove past there a few times on those nights and it was pretty busy. Another indication is the rival bar the Warwick Tavern now supposedly has a DJ on Thursday nights. The plague is spreading. If I wanted to hear club music and stay local I would go to Vallaries. I dunno, maybe I will just have to lift a ban.

Meanwhile the obscenely named Cuccis Pizza has closed down after only a year or so under the new management. It was run by a Sterling Alumni for the past year that I couldn’t picture successfully running a business well. Not to mention the food went downhill big time. I will miss their unique bread. It always made me pick them over Nuncios. There is now a place to rent on what Ryan and I nicked named the “Statford Boardwalk”. Although it might be a tough sell since its next to a porn shop.

The Burger King in Voorhees is going to pack their bags and move into the former home of Ponderosa in Stratford on the White Horse Pike.

Meanwhile Starview Diner might be feeling some heat from their arch enemy the Stratford Diner, because they have been running coupons in the Courier-Post for almost a month now in Friday’s South Jersey Beat section. Keep it here for more useless information about what is going on in your backyard.
