MetroCentre-Mayflower
“Restaurateurs protest Logan’s downtown plan” from Rockford register Star June 23, 1984
“Disgruntled restaurateurs told MetroCentre general Manager Douglas Logan Friday that a new downtown restaurant will take money from their pockets and wipe out as many jobs as it creates.”
“Local restaurateurs are complaining because The Mayflower was chosen without a competitive bidding process. They say Salamone will have the unfair advantage of support from public funds.” “If a restaurant fails, the 7,000 suare first floor space could become parking space.”
