City stops free food giveaway at bar recently closed down
The city of Albany shut down the free food giveaway that the owner of Cafe Hollywood was hosting today. The giveaway was to get rid of any leftover food. The city shut down Cafe Hollywood after a shooting there on Sunday.
More trouble for an Albany bar shut down by the city.
Café Hollywood tried to give away its $30,000 in leftover food on Wednesday, but city code enforcement shut down the giveaway for lack of a permit.
The café was forced to close this week, after a person inside was shot in the abdomen.
It’s still unclear if the business, which has been around for decades, will ever reopen.
