John was a MUCH better owner. Everything has gone down hill since he left. He was all about helping artist, and he cared more about people than money. Our business that helps individuals with disabilities, the owners had been working a year with no paychecks to keep the doors open for the students after their rights were violated and their funding taken from them, and yet rent still got paid. John would have seen what was going on with the studio and sacrifices made to help people with disabilities, and would have done anything to help us keep the doors open. Once the 1yr mark came of the owners working for free to make sure rent was always paid, and the first time in several years, struggled to make rent during month 11, he would have done everything he could to help us keep the doors open, so we could continue to help individuals in the community. Now individuals who already have such few options in their lives, have one huge thing less thing for them as an option in their lives. All because of money. 17yrs in business, helping individuals with disabilities closed because of money. Just goes to show that money is more important than people. (The help offered, was helping when we had to leave.) After 17yrs in the building, I no longer recommend it to anyone.I also find it funny that so shortly after leaving my review, my key fob was deactivated before we finishes getting our stuff ;-) Seems pretty petty...
