And don't forget about the potential liability that could arise if an employee/patron of Dahlak is injured while walking on Abbraccio's property on their way to the back entrance door.
It sounds like Abbraccio is being made the heavy because Dahlak is unwilling to take the necessary steps to legally use the outdoor terrace area. Based on the way Dahlak maintains (or actually fails to maintain) their property on the Baltimore side, this does not come as a surprise. Jonathan A.

If I make a path thru my neighbors yard to my back door 'as an entrance' to carry stuff, I'd be trespassing while I walked across their yard, right? It sounds like Dahlak has a back door but not access to the parking lot from that bad door. -andy On Apr 7, 2005, at 9:49 AM, Mark Krull wrote: > Ummm...you got a point > -Mark > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Victor Fiorillo > Sent: Apr 7, 2005 10:15 AM > To: Vincent/Roger , University City List , Pfsni > Subject: Re: [UC] Abbraccio and Dahlak > > Are you suggesting that it is improper or illegal for Dahlak to use > the back door as an entrance?
