| Storage firm suing Lisciotti
LEOMINSTER -- The Nevada-based corporation that owns the San Antonio Storage business on Harvard Street is suing the developer of the neighboring Orchard Hill Park shopping center. The lawsuit, filed in Worcester Superior Court by Boston attorney Philip M. Cronin, claims Gregg Lisciotti tried to prevent Self-Storage officials from constructing an office on their own property. "The objective of Lisciotti's scheme was to place obstacles in the way of the development so that Self-Storage would sell the land at a distressed price to Lisciotti," Cronin wrote in the lawsuit. The corporation, Three-A-SAC Self-Storage, LP, is suing Lisciotti for $250,000, according to court documents. The case was filed in March. Lisciotti said Friday he can't comment specifically on the lawsuit, but said it comes in response to him previously filing a complaint in land court about Self-Storage blocking his way to the retention ponds on his property.
Unsightly Evidence of U.S. Trade Gap Piles Up
To understand the trade deficit, residents of Sandison Street do not need the help of world-class economists.
They can just glance across the street at the mountain of faded brown cargo containers blocking the Wilmington sky.
The equation is simple. As the deficit grows, the mountain gets higher.
"It's getting taller; it's spreading out," said resident Maria Lopez, eyeing the pile that stretches for two blocks.
Tens of thousands of containers sit empty today in Wilmington — stark testimony that America buys more from other countries than it sends overseas to sell.
Millions of the 40-foot-long steel containers arrive in Los Angeles each year, jampacked with toys, MP3 players and designer handbags made in Asia.
