Title
To honor and recognize Lindey's on the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary.
Body
WHEREAS, Lindey's has been a beloved Columbus institution and a German Village icon since its founding in June of 1981; and
WHEREAS, the restaurant was a family affair from the beginning, as founder Sue Doody and her children worked long days and nights to establish an identity for Lindey's that has endured to this day: classic but current, a place with something for everyone and where everyone is welcome; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the many awards and recognitions she has earned - including being named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, a YWCA Woman of Achievement, the Columbus Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Person of the Year, and being inducted into the Junior Achievement of Central Ohio's Business Hall of Fame - Ms. Doody is a community servant whose many contributions to Columbus include her service with the Central Ohio Workforce Investment Corporation, Franklin University, the United Way of Central Ohio, and the Columbus Foundation; and
WHEREAS, two of Ms. Doody's sons, Rick and Chris Doody, used the experience they gained at Lindey's to found the Bravo Brio chain, which operates upscale affordable restaurants across the country; and
WHEREAS, the city of Columbus joins the entire Lindey's family, and the restaurant's many patrons and fans, in celebrating this momentous anniversary; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That we hereby honor and recognize Lindey's on the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary.
