Not surprising. That shopping center has gotten pretty bad lately. Multiple murders within walking distance. It's a shame really, that shopping center has/had so much potential.

I never went there, but it was my great aunt's favorite restaurant until she passed away last year.

The story going around was Angelos liked to eat there and the oldster scene it harbored and when it was about to go out of business, bought it to keep it going...similar to Boccaacio, where he also liked to eat.

Also, I think Marconi's was the same idea, bought to preserve it. He may have intended to keep Tail of the Fox open as well, not just develop it. I think his intentions may be good, but recruiting and delegating to a management staff may be in order to realize the full potential or properties...

Peter Angelos had owned the place forever until less than a year ago when it was 'sold' to the new ownership. Given the location and clientele demographics, there is very little potential left for the survival of the restaurant regardless of the quality of management.

Angelos is a vampire. He buys the dead and sucks the blood out of them until no one wants them. Boccaccio's? Maria's? Mama Celinas? Wevs? He buys viable properties and lets them rot until they are a disgrace to their former value. Total disgrace.

Has he ever bought something and done anything honorable with it? If he loved eating at Boccaccio's why did he buy it and turn it into a rat hotel like he did with another restaurant in Little Italy for over 12 years?

Robber baron scum bag sleeze bag. Full stop.

@ B>) : you should add the Orioles to that list.

I used to live in the area, and went there a few times, sad to hear it is closing

Perring Place was a favorite stop for my grandparents and my aunt. My grandparents lived in Fullerton and my aunt lived on Frederick ( sp?) Ave. in Baltimore. It was off of Northern Parkway somewhere.....lol My parents would go there with them several times a year and or if there was some special occassion that they would all decide to go there. It was a lot closer to my aunt's house , so that made a difference.
I had been there several times myself, dining with them, in the early 70's. None of us ever had a compalint about the meals there.
Why is it that Angelos buys into these restaurants and they end up going to the dumpster? Is it for the future property values? I'm not 'sayin....I'm just 'sayin !!!

I am still waiting for a response as to why someone at the Perring Place would sell my son a gift certificate for fifty dollars for his mother for mothers day when they knew fully well that it was going to be closed and now no one will answer the phone and have ignored my request as to how do you get your money back. In th e world we live in today with the economy the way it is $50.00 in my sons pocket is alot of money. And it also is the priniciple , I call it robbery.
