MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2003 CARSON CITY, Nev. - Max Baer Jr. has gone to court in an effort to build his proposed $54 million Beverly Hillbillies Mansion & Casino in a shopping center he shares with The Glenbrook Co. and J.C. Penney. Plans for the casino include a 200-foot flaming oil derrick, 30,000-square-foot casino with 800 slot machines and 16 game tables, a 240-room hotel and restaurants _ all keying on "The Beverly Hillbillies" TV series, in which Baer starred as Jethro Bodine. In a petition filed Monday in Carson City District Court, lawyers for Baer, 66, said he has a legal right to develop his property. "We were hoping to resolve these issues outside the courtroom," said Glenbrook Co. spokeswoman Shelley Aldean. "That Baer has chosen to take this to the courts is regrettable." Standing in the way of Baer's plans are restrictions barring development of a theater, bowling alley, nightclub or other place of recreation or amusement at the mall. Signed in 1993 among the three major property owners at the time _ J.C. Penney Co., Glenbrook Corp. and Wal-Mart _ the restrictions limit the mall's use to commercial purposes "normally found in a retail shopping center." Wal-Mart had sought the restrictions, and they remained in place after the company's departure in July 2002. Aldean said Baer doesn't have the right to develop a casino without the cooperation of his partners. "This was always intended to be a cooperative venture among partners, both for development and for future development if a vacancy is created," she said. "He (Baer) just wants us to roll over and allow him to build his casino." http://www.jethroscasino.com/prsfrm.html http://www.comcast.net/News/ENTERTAINMENT/...8f9ab4f69.html# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BDC Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Yes, let's perpetuate some stereotypes. Incidentally, that's the exact reason I don't give a damn about stereotypical prejudices. The instant someone hears I'm from KY, they make a crack about wearing shoes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook Report post Posted December 12, 2003 Why does he want to build a casino in a mall? If he can afford to build the thing, can't he afford to buy some land that's not next to a JC Penny? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
