Flagship Motorcars – Herb Chambers Mercedes-Benz and smart center, Route One Lynnfield, MA

Welcome to Flagship Motorcars, New England’s choice for Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

At Flagship Motorcars, we understand that there’s a special feeling sitting in the driver’s seat of a Mercedes-Benz and looking down the hood at the three-pointed star at the end. The three points of the star are meant to symbolize land, sea and air. But it’s also an emblem that stands for engineering integrity and a history that no other auto maker can match.

It serves to remind you that Mercedes-Benz cars have evolved through the ages rather than being radically altered to suit prevailing fads and fashion.

At Flagship Motorcars, our name symbolizes unparalleled service, follow-up, and value.

We hope to see you soon!

Saugus selectmen call Tabu, Zaza on carpet for Liqour Violations

Late night drinking Saugus’ Zaza & Tabu Violence.

By Chris Stevens / The Daily Item

SAUGUS – The Board of Selectmen called for show cause hearings for both Tabu Ultra Lounge and Nightclub and Zaza Restaurant and Nitery following weekend visits by police officers to both establishments.

Officer Daniel Wing stopped by Zaza’s on Route 1 north Sunday at just a few minutes past the 2 a.m. closing time because he reported that he could see patrons inside as well as at a small fenced-in table area located just outside the front door and the patrons appeared to be drinking.

According to the town’s liquor rules and regulations, last call for alcohol is 1:30 a.m. and all patrons must be off the licensed property by 2 a.m.

Police reports indicated the manager said he stopped serving at 1:25 a.m. but patrons were still drinking inside at 2:03 a.m.

Selectmen said Tuesday that was enough for a show cause hearing. The board has been working hard to take a proactive stance with clubs and restaurants, calling them in as soon as a violation takes place rather than letting incidents pile up as they have been accused of in the past.

The board also said it would bring Tabu officials in for a hearing based on two incidents where owners simply opened their door.

Late last year, the board called for, but never scheduled a hearing regarding a fight and shots fired at Mobil on the Run at 1123 Broadway that was tied back to Tabu.

Tuesday, board members said they also received a Police Department memo stating that the club might be operating in violation of its liquor license, largely because it was open. The Amato family, who owns the property, said they foreclosed on the business owners on Jan. 15 because they had stopped paying on the lease. While town officials said they were told the club would close, Frank Amato said Monday that Tabu never closed. That means that Amato has been operating in violation of his liquor license because he never applied to have the license transferred from the former owners back into the family name.

Selectman Michael Serino said attorney Ira Zaleznik, who represents the town on liquor license matters, sent Tabu a letter dated Jan. 22 telling them “they were operating at their own peril.

“While the board voted to hold the show cause hearings, it put off setting a date for them to its next meeting on Feb. 16. Selectman Scott Crabtree said the board, as well as the club owners, would have a better idea of available dates at that point.

Late night drinking spotted at Saugus’ Zaza

SAUGUS – Police found the lights on and patrons still drinking alcohol past closing time at Zaza Restaurant and Nitery, early Sunday.

At approximately 2:03 a.m., a Saugus police officer reported seeing nearly a dozen people inside the establishment located at 114 Broadway.

A small crowd of people were also spotted in the outside, fenced in table area located outside the front doors.

The officer said he walked inside and saw a woman consuming a glass of what appeared to be white wine, and a man drinking a bottle of Budweiser beer.

At that point, an employee alerted the owner, who started telling patrons that they had to leave the bar.

While the owner reportedly told police that he stopped serving alcohol at 1:25 a.m., the officer said there were still patrons drinking alcohol past 2 a.m.

No further information was made available Sunday night.

Route 114 dealerships to raze Allenhurst, build sprawling campus

By Ethan Forman

Article Courtesy of:  The Salem News

DANVERS — Two large dealerships on Route 114 are consolidating into one campus on the busy stretch some refer to as Danvers’ version of the “Automile.”

The moves will spell the end of the road for the familiar Jimmy’s Allenhurst banquet facility, 101 Andover St., as of April 1, said the restaurant’s general manager, John MacDonald. If plans are approved, it would be demolished to make way for the new home of Ira Lexus.

The shuffle also involves the relocation of Ira Toyota, which would move to the Lexus property at 99 Andover St.

The Zoning Board of Appeals this month granted variances that would allow the creation of an Ira Motor Group campus, putting Ira Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Mazda and Porsche at one location.

Along with the increase in dealerships and commercial development on Route 114 has come more traffic. The number of vehicles traveling on the roadway has increased from an average of 33,300 per day in 1998 to 41,600 in 2005, the latest year available from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

Proponents of the dealership plan promise the project will smooth traffic for everyone on bustling Route 114 by shutting off three driveways at the Allenhurst property.

Instead, a new main driveway would be built to the Ira dealerships at the traffic light at Brooksby Village Drive. All cars would turn left into the campus at a light, rather than navigating middle turning lanes, said Danvers attorney Nancy McCann, who represents Group 1 Realty, the company pushing the plan.

The present driveway into the dealerships has become “undesirable for both customers of the dealership and those traveling on Route 114,” McCann said in an application to the board. She would not give a timeline or cost for the project.

Route 114 in Danvers, some residents say, has become an “Automile” of sorts, a term used by dealers on Route 1 in Norwood.

Danvers’ version is more condensed, but it also hosts dealers that have more than one dealership in one location, including Herb Chambers Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac and Hummer and Herb Chambers Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Sprinter, which is down the road from Jimmy’s Allenhurst. There are also stand-alone Michaud Mitsubishi and Kelly Infiniti dealerships.

The move of the Toyota dealership from its present location opens the possibility that the Rosenberg family, which owns the property, could return to Danvers and sell cars from the facility the family built in the mid-1990s. The family sold the dealerships in 2000 to Group 1 Automotive.

“I’d love to have a dealership back in Danvers at my old Toyota property,” said David Rosenberg, president of Westwood-based Prime Motor Group. Rosenberg said he has no concrete plans to move back to Danvers. The lease on the property runs out in December 2014.

A Marblehead resident, Rosenberg said he was well aware of Group 1’s move to create a campus on Route 114.

“I know they were under a lot of pressure by Lexus and Toyota to update their buildings,” Rosenberg said.

A representative of Group 1 could not be reached after several attempts.

End of an era at Allenhurst

Group 1 has wanted to expand its campus and move its driveway for a long time, but Jimmy’s Allenhurst stood in the way, McCann said. The company recently struck a deal with the restaurant’s owners. Terms of the deal were not supplied with the application to the zoning board.

The dealership dance will spell the end of Jimmy’s Allenhurst and Spero’s Sports Pub and Grill.

“People are pretty upset,” said MacDonald, the general manager, who has worked there for 17 years. “It’s an institution.”

The restaurant used to be called Allen & Hurst, according to Jimmy Allenhurst’s Web site.

That was until 1972 when James “Jimmy” Spero Demakes bought it and renamed it. He later expanded it to include four ballrooms and a cocktail room. The facility attracted a lot of repeat christenings, weddings and other functions, MacDonald said, which is unusual in the function business.

All five of former Peabody Mayor Peter Torigian’s daughters had weddings at Jimmy’s Allenhurst, MacDonald said. The function facility was family-run, with the owners doing the cooking, and that brought a lot of repeat business.

“That is one of the ingredients that brought people back,” MacDonald said.

Senior Planner Kate Day said she has not seen plans for the dealership shuffle, which McCann said would not be filed with the Planning Board for at least a couple of months.

Any reduction in the number of driveways along Route 114 is a good thing.

“I think there is some appeal to creating a campus-style approach,” Day said.
