MORRISTOWN (WATE) - The Morristown Police Department is warning residents about a scam in which elderly residents are being solicited for roofing and driveway sealing jobs who have not asked to have any repairs made.

Police say two men in their mid 30s or 40s are contacting elderly people at their homes, demanding cash in advance of doing the job. Once they have the cash in hand, they leave without doing any work. They may also threaten the victims not to tell anyone about the scam.

The suspects may be driving an older model gray truck.

Police say remember to only contact reputable contractors for needed repair and do not consider having work done just because someone knocks on the door.

If you think you have been the victim of a scam, call the Morristown Police Department at (423) 585-2701.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) Buffalo Developer Rocco Termini wants to open a new trendy hot dog restaurant this summer on Genesee Street made from huge metal shipping containers. News 4 told you Monday the name of the restaurant would create buzz, and Tuesday the name of the restaurant was released, Dog Style.

Termini will submit a formal proposal to the Buffalo Planning Board Tuesday and expects it to be approved.

There are thousands of shipping containers that are not being used because it costs more to ship them back to China than what theyre worth, he explained.

Termini owns the empty lot, which has been vacant for 25 years. The lot is in between the Harbor House for the Homeless and a furniture store.

He says construction should take 90 days, and timing is everything. The new restaurant should be open before Catholic Health opens their new $46 million corporate headquarters, which is about a block away.

Termini wants to attract more 20, 30 and 40-year-olds to downtown Buffalo. He plans on having unique food choices, like a lobster dog with beer and wine.

It will have a garage door that opens to the outside so it will all be exposed int he summertime, Termini said.

Recycling shipping containers for other uses like restaurants, homes and offices is becoming more popular around the country and world. Ron Cope owns Room for Rent in Tonawanda and knows a lot about re-using shipping containers.

He isnt working with Termini, but he is part of the National Portable Storage Association and says more companies and individuals are re-using the long lasting, durable containers. A Starbucks in Chicago is made from shipping containers, and a couple in Brooklyn made them into their home.

MARTINSBURG - Construction has begun on a new McDonald's restaurant in the parking lot of the Old Courthouse Square shopping center off Edwin Miller Boulevard.

McDonald's USA LLC got permission in May from the Martinsburg Planning Commission to build a 4,350-square-foot restaurant on about an acre in the parking lot of the shopping center across from the Summit Bank branch.

It would have double drive-through windows, seats for 87 and 21 parking spaces.

Journal photo by John McVey Crews were busy Monday working on the site where a new McDonalds restaurant will go in the Old Courthouse Square shopping center off Edwin Miller Boulevard.

The new restaurant is assumed to be a replacement for the existing McDonald's on the north end of Martinsburg, but that has not been confirmed.

Traffic congestion caused by the new restaurant stirred a great deal of discussion by Planning Commission members. The main entrance to the restaurant would be from Edwin Miller Boulevard at Courthouse Drive.

A traffic study found the current road system could handle the additional traffic generated by the new restaurant.

West Virginia Division of Highways officials agreed with the study, stating that no changes, such as a traffic light at the intersection or turn lanes, were warranted.

Also, the plans for the McDonald's met all the city's planning requirements, leaving the Planning Commission members no alternative but to approve the plans.

Construction also has begun on a new 2,480-square-foot Taco Bell restaurant at the former site of the Casa Gonzalez restaurant on the west end of the Old Courthouse Square shopping center. The parking lot and entrance and exits for the old building would remain the same for the new building.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) March 10, 2014

Roaring Bowl has opened in Seattle! The Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group (TGRCG) is proud to announce the opening of this exciting, sleek Asian Hot Pot restaurant concept. Located at 516 First Avenue North, Roaring Bowl specializes in Shabu-Shabu cuisine, thinly sliced meats and fresh vegetables cooked tableside in simmering, savory stocks and finished in flavorful dipping sauces. Shabu-Shabu and other hot pot concepts, while a traditional Asian cooking method, is a rapidly growing restaurant trend in the United States.

Roaring Bowls owner was introduced to Shabu cuisine following a trip to Asia and he is now bringing his love of Hot Pot to the Pacific Northwest. The term Shabu-Shabu is derived from the swish-swish sound of the delicately sliced meats and vegetables stirring and cooking in savory pots of stock. The Gilkey Group created the brand, designed the kitchen, developed the menu and recipes, and led all management and staff training as well as the restaurant launch. The Gilkey Consulting Group has extensive experience designing and opening restaurants across the nation. Construction of Roaring Bowl began in September 2013 in this new mixed-use building on lower Queen Anne. The new building on First Avenue North and Republican features 275 condos, a parking garage and street level retail and restaurants.

Japanese Shabu is an interactive and entertaining experience that allows for personalized cooking and adds enjoyment to the dining experience. Roaring Bowls menu features three components: a Robata Grill, the Shabu-Shabu Hot Pots and Gamjatang Bowls.

Robata Grill means fireside cooking and refers to a method of cooking, similar to barbecue, in which skewered foods are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Roaring Bowl features Robata Grilled Yakitori Chicken, Tograshi-brined Pork Belly, Korean Kalbi Beef Short Ribs, and Ginger and Shiso Skewered Salmon and lemon.

For those new to the Shabu dining experience, Shabu Hot Pots begin with the selection of the steaming broths. The Gilkey Group Chefs created six savory broths: traditional seaweed, spicy miso, extra spicy miso, Wakame, sukiyaki and Szechuan peppercorn. Using your chopsticks proteins are swished into simmering hot broths over the induction burners located at the center of each table. Protein options include Kurobuta pork belly, Painted Hills chuck eye, Andersen lamb top round, Wagyu 28-day dry aged short rib, house-made dumplings, and seafood such as salmon, calamari, clams and shrimp. All meats and seafood are sliced to order to retain freshness and texture and are all raised without antibiotics or hormones. Additionally, most ingredients are sourced from some of the Northwests finest purveyors. Accompanying the proteins is a beautifully arranged vegetable platters which includes fresh Napa cabbage, carrots, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, kabocha squash and other seasonally selected vegetables along with Japanese Udon noodles and white or brown rice. Each diner cooks all items to their liking then ladles the hot broth into their bowl and finishes with a dip in the citrusy Ponzu or Sesame dipping sauces.

The third menu option developed by the Gilkey Group Chefs is Gamjatang, a spicy Korean pork bone soup. The rich, red soup gets its aromatic flavors from simmering pork bones, vegetables and Korean peppers. Gamjatang Bowls also include rice and house-made Kimchee. Bento salads, desserts, beers, assorted sakes and teas round out the menu.

TGRCG developed this contemporary and entertaining hot pot restaurant after much research in Asian hot pot cooking. TGRCGs methodology in creating restaurant concepts is to develop an exciting brand that captures guests attention while crafting design features and operating principles that support that brand image. Managing restaurant development in this manner creates an emotional connection with the guest resulting in brand loyalty and outstanding sales and profits for years to come.

Just steps from the Space Needle, the Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group developed Roaring Bowl, which is the finest example of a traditional Shabu-Shabu restaurant concept in the nation. Come experience this healthy, interactive experience.

New Galt McDonalds sign to be discussed By Jennifer Bonnett/News-Sentinel Staff Writer Lodi News-Sentinel |

The McDonalds drive-thru restaurant under construction at Twin Cities Road and East Stockton Boulevard has requested to erect a 90-foot freestanding sign. It will be discussed at this weeks Galt Planning Commission meeting.

If approved, there will be room on the sign for a future tenant that will share the McDonalds driveway. The shared sign will prevent another one from being constructed, which could clutter the area off Highway 99, according to city staff.

Nearby signs, including Chevrons and the Galt Village Center, are each 100 feet tall.

The Planning Commission meeting is open to the public and begins at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the city council chambers at City Hall, 380 Civic Drive, Galt.

It's no secret that homeowners are investing more money into their homes than ever. Due to economic uncertainties, people always know the safe investment is in their homes to better suit their families needs. The situation we at Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes are seeing quite often is that families have outgrown their current homes and are deciding between expanding their current residence or building new.

The problems many families face with building new in the South Hills and some North Hills areas are: land is hard to find and costly; they hate leaving neighborhoods they love; the headache of going through new construction; and the uncertainty of what lifestyle change this move will develop. The alternative is to remodel their current home, but where do they start?

For over 30 years, homeowners have come to us to help them design, plan, and construct custom outdoor living projects to better their lives. With rising situations as stated above and additional service demands from our customers, it has become imperative for us to develop additional resources to accomplish all of our customers' needs in one place. We are proud to announce Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes has partnered up with Prime 1 Builders (home remodeling and additions), Professional Pool Services (pool installation and maintenance), and The Fireplace and Patioplace (BBQ, kitchen components, patio furniture, fireplaces and accessories), to work collaboratively to provide our customers the best options and resources available for their projects within our individual specialties.

Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes

This partnership of these four well-established companies has been providing customers throughout the greater Pittsburgh area to Design, Plan and Construct expansive projects including: landscape, excavation, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, waterfalls/ponds, patios, driveways, pools, hot tubs, home additions, interior remodeling, outdoor pavilions, pergolas, patio roofs, and much more. Finding groups of companies that work together is nothing new. However, the way our group approaches our customers and projects is rather unique. We take a serious approach in the preliminary stages of the project to walk our customers through our process before they make a commitment to work with us. Then afterwards, we put all emphasis on the proper design and planning strategies to suit our customers' needs immediately and years down the road by all necessary parties weighing in to educate the customer. We are proud to say that by the time our customers sign a project contract with us, they are confident they know exactly what they are investing in and have exhausted all resources to accomplish it.
