Amsterdam Falafelshop was fast-casual before fast-casual was cool. “It’s better for all of us if we just bail out gracefully and try to have a next chapter,” one of the cofounders said Monday.
. Amsterdam Falafelshop was Scott’s dream, the one that his wife nurtured for nearly 20 years, even after his death and in her grief.
But the streamlined shop held its own. Arianne had talked with her landlord about buying the building, where she not only worked but also lived upstairs with her dog, an Italian mastiff named Dax. But the landlord was asking for $2 million, she said. Arianne is not sure what her next chapter will be, but she would love to work in D.C. government, using her two decades of experience to help small businesses. She also still owns the Amsterdam Falafelshop concept. She’d like to find a buyer and see it live on for the next generation.“I am crushed by the last couple of years,” she said. “It’s just too much. It would be different if you were just continuing on, but to start again, it’s more of a lift than I can do.

Kathy Adams: Political strategy distorts truth of functional abortion banWhen Rep. Karianne Lisonbee (R-Clearfield) entered the most important committee meeting of her career twenty minutes late with a cast on her foot, I wondered if she had been treated by her doctor. Or, had she developed her own X-rays, diagnosed the severity of the injury, and determined the appropriate course of treatment by herself. Because judging by the ensuing debate over her bill, HB467 “Abortion Changes,” Lisonbee believes her opinion should carry more weight than the expert opinions of the half-dozen Utah doctors who testified against the bill, plus the hundreds of physicians, legions of studies, and every single reputable, national medical association who has repeatedly confirmed that more abortion restrictions make pregnancy less safe for everyone.
