For the historic minded:  George Martin is the son of Dr. Paul Martin who, along with Dr. Frank Fort, were the first orthopedic surgeons in Jacksonville and about the first in the State of Florida.  They were pioneers in the treatment of the after effects of polio and worked at the Hope Haven Children's Hospital which was the polio treatment center for all of South Georgia and North Florida.  Dr. Martin owned considerable pieces of land in Mandarin and Central Florida.  He was highly regarded in Jacksonville and well known in the orthopedic community nationwide.  He died when George was young.

George was educated as a CPA and has done mortgage investing here and especially in Atlanta, probably with inherited money.  He is not well regarded by anyone who has done business with him or who has known him for any period of time.  He dresses in the cheapest possible suits and ties that are seldom cleaned and has been looked on since his youth as someone who is strange and difficult.

Suing Sam over the name, Whiteway, is not surprising.  Mean, petty, miserly are all adjectives that have been used.

You're being real polite calling him "mean" "petty" and "miserly". He's really so much worse than that in real life.

Most people have another word in mind, when it comes to describing him. It starts with an "a" and ends in "hole".

My friend who lives near Park and King received a letter from George Martin in regards to the pending lawsuit (not sure why he did). The letter said to let the "new deli" make its sandwiches. The letter made no sense to me and fails to get the point across. I am not sure why he is sending it to people who the lawsuit does not pertain to. He seems desperate.

George Martin also has the letter and lawsuit information posted on their website. There is a link on the left hand side of their home page, under "LAWSUIT"

Tell ya what, if this guy can get an exclusive on the term "Whiteway", then all the members of MJ should file papers to own the words, "ROAD", "STREET", "EXPRESSWAY", etc...

What a dumb ass.

It is Wednesday, anyone up for a hamburger at the deli formally known as 'Whiteway".

Sam should just change the name to "The Deli formally know as Whiteway".  Who could argue that?

Actually, this would probably get him so much business, it's not even funny.  And, it would be an awesome way to stick it to this guy

The original didn't even close, it only moved, what a douchebag!

Kinda reminds me of when Apple computer wanted to use Carl Sagan's name for some software in development but his response was to sue them.  So they code-named it "Butthead Astronomer."

I received this letter as well.  Once I got over the numerous grammatical issues, I found it to be an entertaining read.  This guy needs to pull his head out of his a$$ and recognize that maybe the management might be a key reason that he has so many vacant storefronts!  Nevermind the fact that "his" Whiteway Corner was known as the Nasrallah Building until a couple of years ago, which means that if anyone has dibs on the name, it's Sam!

Quote"My goal has always been to get to mediation," said George Martin, president of Whiteway Realty Co. "Can you find any humor in so many people taking such a trivial matter as this name situation so seriously?"

George, it would seem, does not appreciate irony.
