Support A Local Business
By Greg L | 28 August 2007 | Manassas Park | 7 Comments
I got word that one local business is going to give Help Save Manassas members a significant discount — 100%, for coming to their place during the boycott sponsored by Mexicanos Sin Fronteras. Rack n’ Roll Billiards in Manassas Park Shopping Center at the corner of Manassas Drive and Route 28 will give free pool tables to anyone who says “HSM” when they order a table, indicating that they’re members of Help Save Manassas. Drinks and food still cost you, but your pool table is free. If you’re not a member, there will be membership applications available there, which will allow you to take advantage of this offer honestly.
It’s a nice place, and one where I’ve taken my five year old for her first foray into billiards. You’ll have a good time.
Why Mexicanos Sin Fronteras is targeting businesses in Manassas Park is beyond me. They haven’t participated in Prince William County’s efforts to crack down on illegal aliens, and have been positively intransigent when residents have demanded action on this issue. For all their efforts to accommodate the illegal alien lobby, they’re still getting targeted. Ready, fire, aim. It sure is driving local businesses to support the legislative agenda of Help Save Manassas, though.

Greg, is anyone working to compile a list of both businesses to patronize and those to not shop at? (I have added two more sites to your post about pointing out “Green Signs”.
That’s very nice of Ruttenberg, and definitely the least he can do for you since you’ve done so much to help his cause. He is stand up guy who was shafted by the good old boys. I hope his case is proceeding well.
Thanks, Dave! My son and I will be frequent visitors since the local Hooters is closed for renovation for a couple of months.
Good move. Go hang out at a place that the cops raided for open drug dealing….read the papers.
Anonymous, you seem to be rather ill-informed…or one of the problems in Manassas Park. Read the various threads under the “Rack & Roll” subject category to the right. It would seem that you are merely spewing the “party line,” as we used to say during the Cold War years.
La Tolteca was completely empty at 9:30 tonight. Do the owners a favor if you like Mexican food, bring a large party in. It’s good food and a very well-run place. Go this week and enjoy a relaxed, quiet atmosphere.
Wow….Anonymous…. excuse the aggression…but..
I think that comment totally deserves a STFUN.
AKA Shut The F Up Noob.
I am so sick of hearing and reading about people trashing Dave. Especially when all he has done sense bringing his business to Manassas Park is help his customers and the community.
Even now when the community and local Government has slapped him in the face he is still making an effort to help.
Seriously….What is wrong with you people?? Are you blind?? Retarded?? Your parents didn’t love you enough? Can you read?
It has already been posted that the drug deals were set up by the local police and Government. That the big agenda was to cut Dave out of the deal with colonial downs.
If anyone else cares to back read before they post a negative comment about Dave I will make it easy for you.

On the matter at hand I commend you Dave for once again trying to make a difference and be an active part of our community.
