Trump
Targets Neighbors' Land Again
As reported by the Press
of Atlantic City: "Their bruising five-year
court case finally came to an end in 1998, leaving
Clare and Vincent Sabatini exhausted but triumphant.
"In what amounted
to a real-life version of the Monopoly board
game, they were able to fend off Donald Trump
from snatching their family-owned restaurant
to make room for a casino project.
"…Seven years later, Trump may come
calling again - this time with cash in hand
to buy Sabatini's Restaurant, a fixture at the
corner of Pacific Avenue and Columbia Place
for four decades.
"Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. is in
talks to acquire the restaurant and another
business next door, a cash-for-gold pawnshop,
for an expansion of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.
"Trump Entertainment wants to clear out
the block between Missouri Avenue, Columbia
Place, Pacific Avenue and the Boardwalk for
a new hotel tower and other attractions at the
Plaza. Perry stressed that the expansion project
is in the early stages and could take eight
to 10 years to complete…"
