WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize illustri-
ous culinary establishments which have positively impacted and substan-
tially contributed to the vitality of their communities; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commem-
orate the 125th Anniversary of the Glen Park Tavern of Williamsville,
New York; and
WHEREAS, Glen Park Tavern is celebrating this auspicious occasion with
a new sign, a menu makeover, and a new interior redecoration that pays
homage to its historic roots; and
WHEREAS, One of only 40 restaurants in the state registered as
taverns, Glen Park Tavern occupies a nice location along the village's
commercial corridor; and
WHEREAS, The tavern was formerly known as Judge Kan's Red Carpet Piano
Bar, then Spina's Red Carpet Restaurant, before the Grenauer family took
over the business in 1999; and
WHEREAS, Glen Park Tavern, like many other historic Williamsville
taverns that proliferated in the 1800s, benefited from the stage coach
route that ran along its Main Street; and

in large part to co-owners Chris Robshaw and Ellie Grenauer, whose
warmth and hospitality are easily recognized by their loyal patrons; and
WHEREAS, For over a century, the Glen Park Tavern has stood as a
beloved establishment which has provided a friendly, open environment
for patrons to collectively gather and share their thoughts, ideas and
life experiences; and
WHEREAS, It is with great pleasure that this Legislative Body acknowl-
edges this exceptional business and its contributions to the local and
State economies, fully confident that it will continue to enjoy the
sparkling successes it has experienced thus far; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Glen Park Tavern of Williams-
ville, New York, and to offer best wishes to Chris Robshaw and Ellie
Grenauer for continued success in all their future endeavors; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
