UPDATE: R5's Sean Agnew is definitely involved with 4 Corners' Spaghetti Warehouse takeover

Filed Under: Food and Music | Openings
I've been putting in calls to Edward A. Taraskus, the attorney listed on the orange sticker on the door of the former Spaghetti Warehouse (1026 Spring Garden St.), the space we previously stated had involvement from Avram Hornik (4 Corners) and his old pal, R5's Sean Agnew. While their names weren't on the posted license application (as was reported to me by a lousy source, which I later corrected) the name Union Transfer LLC was. Remember I said that Agnew neither denied nor admitted his involvement when asked two nights ago? Check here, on the PLCB's website. Agnew, along with Hornik, Mark Fichera (a longtime 4 Corners guy) and James F. Glancy, are listed as members on the license. So there is involvement between Hornik and Agnew, as I claimed. Just how much involvement isn't known as yet, as neither Agnew (away on vacation) nor Taraskus' office will comment. It is notable that those fielding phone calls at Taraskus' office (they've reportedly handled previous Hornik-related real-estate deals) wouldn't even say exactly who was involved in the project.
