Careless, defiant, derelict activities have caused one local business to close its doors for good. Last week thugs busted through the front door of Connie’s Restaurant at the Y between Routes 4 and 16 directly across from Go-Mart in Clay. Getting away with a mere $9.76, the criminals wreaked havoc on the building and left quite a mess for owner Connie Ramsey to clean up.
“The complete disrespect shown to me and my business is all I can handle.” Connie says. “Regretfully I am left no choice but to close down. I didn’t get into the restaurant business to deal with messes like the one left for me Friday morning.” Because of the ever growing crime Clay is experiencing, what was once a popular lunch place is now an empty vacant building. No arrests have been made in the incident.
