Power Down Update 1/17 9:00 PM

All last ditch efforts have failed. After 3 hours in power company lobby I was finally allowed to talk to the highest leader involved in the power situation. Here is the absolute nuts and bolts of the situation. The power company is owed money. The two management companies both old and new owe a ton of money and refuse to talk or negotiate with the power company thus making the situation what it is. The power company will turn off the power from 9am-6pm every day starting Monday and honestly I see no end in sight. None of the 3 companies involved care at all what happens to the THINK UK residents so I don't see how that will ever change. They simply don't care and have nothing to lose. So don't believe anything that either management company says. They lie. Just today the new management company said they paid their entire amount owed so they were off the hook. The head boss at the power company said no such thing happened. So the management companies keep accumulating our money and who knows where it is going.

But Chicago Coffee will do our best to be open during this power outage. We have a generator coming tomorrow so if you need a place to hang out feel free to join us and swap stories. I have some good ones from the last few days.

Most of all. Stay safe. There are some crazy people out there and there is no telling what some people are willing to do.
