Restaurant robbery [General]

2007 Jun 3
Never heard about the Thirsty Toad restaurant (on Bank Street) until reading the news about this restaurant being robbed by two men around 9:30 AM on last Thursday. I have entered this vendor to the database.

The two men confronted the owner of the bar at knifepoint and demanded money once inside.

Scary!

For those who are somewhat familiar with the Billings Bridge area, the Thirsty Toad is in the same building where the Stout Brothers pub used to be. I haven't been but someone I know used to work there.

Here's a link to a story about the robbery:

That's terrible. Thefts are bad enough, but when violence is involved it's even worse.

Gee, the Citizen has sunk to new lows in quality of reporting: "But instead of slitting his throat, the two robbers who rushed into his Bank Street bar and restaurant instead tossed him head first into a wall..."

* Awkward run-on sentence (remove "who rushed into his Bank Street bar and restaurant" for a better result).
* Redundant use of "instead".
* Unnecessarily sensational opening ("instead of slitting his throat") worthy of a tabloid.

Don't they have editors? LOL :-)

Haha. I wonder if some summer intern edited that one. :p

Nope.. that seems to be the quality you get from their best. I think it might've been better if written by an intern... ;-)
