My hope, my dream was eight years, have 10 really successful, consistent businesses.

pizzerias that just made the neighborhoods better, that made people proud to come in and excited to come back and then just really go hard on the community aspect of it and be intentional about it and to get people excited about that.

Hopefully so inspired that they want to be involved in it.

We did this cool thing where the first six months we were open, we were trying to figure out what the community needed

And we polled people.

94% of 1,200 people said they really wanted Williamsburg to be more clean.

And I agreed.

Everybody that worked with us agreed.

You walked around Williamsburg and there was a lot of trash.

There was not a lot of cans.

And I figured, well, let's just start buying trash cans.

And we went online and found these awesome green, feeny green

$208 cans.

We ordered five of them.

We put one outside our restaurant and then a couple outside other businesses around the neighborhood.

I saw every day it was being used and that trash that was not in that can was definitely getting thrown out into the street if that can wasn't there.

So it was working.

So we bought five more and then in three months we bought five more and

And then after four months of doing it, I started getting all these fines from the city, $4,000 worth of fines.

And I'm like, what's going on right now?
