Donald Trump and Steven Carl (a caterer) are proposing a restaurant/banquet hall to develop at Jones Beach. Diane Yatauro, Nassau County’s presiding officer backs Trump in this fiasco, so that’s another strong point for Trump and Co.
Newsday quotes Trump: "As a New Yorker with an eye on historical significance, I am pleased to be a part of the history of Jones Beach."
It’s not that I’m against Trump or against building a nice banquet hall on Jones Beach, it’s this particular model which I find distasteful and gaudy.
Thanx newsday.com
I guess I’m not the only one who feels that way. The Newsday article continues: “In addition to surprise over the dimensions of Trump's moniker, "it doesn't look like the materials that we outlined or have agreed to."”
And the defense?: "This is solely, 100-percent, down to the square foot, what was approved earlier this year in the blueprints -- they just haven't seen the 3-D visualization of it," insisted Michael Russo, who has managed the project for the architectural firm of Hawkins Webb Jaeger.
Other ridiculous monstrosities in the area bearing the Trump family name include:
- The Trump International Hotel and Tower Fitness Center and Spa, New York City
- Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City
- Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Atlantic City
- Trump Marina Hotel Casino, Atlantic City
- Trump Hotel Casino, Gary, Indiana (ok, this one is a bit out of town)
Maybe I’m just jealous of rich people. That’s come up before, hasn’t it?
Donald Trump seems to be needing everybody talking about him, you see their guest appearances on TV.

With regards to the Jones beach plan, a suggestion is he may want to emulate
areas that only use enviornmental friendly signs(HILtHead)and to use
some alternaive technologies.?? Justa thought.

Hey everyone,
I just stumbled upon this site and have to say that there's some great content here. There's no stopping Trump to continue build monolithic buildings and structures. Just went to Vegas recently and noticed his footprint there as well.
Thanks,
Sal
