The Death of The Five Spot
One of the three 20 mile/$ restaurants/bars in PHL is gone - read how it happened:

Nothing like buying 5 beers and getting 500 miles

According to a city government Web site, Cohen owes thousands of dollars in back taxes on the Five Spot's buildings, but Cohen said that had nothing to do with his trying to sell the place...
Cohen also is an owner of a historic 21-room hotel and restaurant in the Catskills, the Lexington Hotel, which is for sale at $399,000, according to a Web posting. The hotel ceased operation last summer after a small fire damaged three of the upstairs bathrooms, according to the owners' description on the Web site.
Coincidence?
