Thank you John Fager!

Reopening the Atlantic Hotel is such a blessing for downtown Berlin.  The John Fagers and Frank Hannas do so much for our community.

I'm sure they do these things because they love the community.

Yeah, thats why they did it, not for personal financial gain, but for the love of delmarva. They just wanted to help everyone out.......right?

L. Caruso, are you demented?
John Fager and Frank Hanna make millions selling alcohol, which causes deadly accidents and otherwise ruins lives.
I don't begrudge them making a living, by legally selling alcohol; but, they are hardly doing " so much for our community ".
In fact, alcohol, and other drugs, are ruining our community.

First of all, people make there own choices by going out and drinking and doing drugs. Yes, it can lead to terrible things, but can you imagine not having restaurants and bars to go out and have a good time with friends. People have even book charity events at these locations involving alcohol. I know for a fact that Brew River sells food almost at cost during certain events, so that these charity's can actually profit. Does anyone know much about that...I guess not. It's so easy to just sit back and judge these successful people. Let me know your occupation, and I can sit here and pull it apart.

As for John Fager, He's made a great restaurant and bar that brings people to Ocean City to vacation. Of course this helps the economy. Should we blame him on the fact that people want to be able to go out and drink? Probably not.

First off I worked for John Fager at the Coconut Malorie Hotel in O.C in 1989 as a 18 year old Kid. I had the pleasure of meeting him n his wife Denise and I will definately say they are good people and do care about the community. Yes he is a businessman ans opens a business because he will profit of it but don't think for a second he doesn't care about the community he services. John wouldn't remember me from working there because he's seen thousands of employees come and go over the years but I remember him and know he's a great guy and a asset to the DelMar Va area. If someone chooses to drink too much alcohol can we blame that on John Fager. I think not.
