Smith and Mills Reduxe: Holy Bat Shit


Early Friday morning, we received several frantic emails regarding a possible raid at Smith and Mills. Later that morning, we received a copy of a letter to the local Community Board that our tipster (and Smith and Mills neighbor) submitted. Obviously there was some serious animosity between the two parties. Smith and Mills owner Matt Abramyck checked in with Grub Street (why not us?) on the matter with his neighbor Victoria Hillstron, saying “She has cornered my partner, yells at our staff, yells at our customers — she’s a real-life nightmare.”

You know Matt, you may be on to something. Because when we woke up on Saturday morning, our in box was filled with 14 raving emails from Ms. Hillstrom, some with blurry photos, some with crude videos, that accused Smith and Mills from arson to running away with the spoon. We seriously doubt any of these claims, and sincerely apologize for getting involved with this mess in the first place.

It looks like she sent you photo's labeled up above. Why would you suggest there is no truth to her claims when it looks like that was exactly what she sent to you in 14 seperate emails. It must be an extensive amount of damages she offered as proof. It seems obvious she has made all the same claims as the neighbors at Beatrice.Why would you make up stories on her. There is something wrong with this story. She is on every A list around the world and very lovely. Don't you know Matt had the same troubles at Employees Only and Beatrice Inn with the neighbors there? This is very wrong when you never even met her.Do you not realise not one thing they said ever happened. They have made a fool of you peddling this story. Its the stupidest story anyone ever heard and does not reflect well on you to be peddling this story. Why not just bend over?

That's brilliant. Maybe you want them in your garage? Or, maybe you would prefer to pay their power, a 4320 load in 18 seconds, for 3 years. It is in the energy commission hands so I highly doubt the theft deptament or shared meter are in error. Grow up, these kids are total losers who stole from there neighbors, broke in their house. Worse, they never paid for them for the space they are in or any of the contractors except John Mccormick who was hired to copy their house above. So much for their brilliant design. They copied every detail from above and you losers go on and on with this crazy story? They were criminally harassing them for 3 years. Grow up, this was not even plausible.

They lost! The Judge threw it out lacking any merit and any damages because they totally made it up. I sincerely hope she sues you for propogating this bull shit. You are all a bunch of losers, including you Scott.
