Side note -- I once saw the owner of Alba assault an elderly man. The older man was in his 80s, the owner of Napoli pizza. When Keka opened his new location a couple doors down from Napoli, the owner went in to congratulate him. Instead, Keka thought he was there to "steal his business" and he knocked him down. The owner of Napoli ended up in the hospital. Real nice guy, Keka. I hope he gets a hangnail every day for the rest of his life.

Their valet service where they take up half of the public street parking is shady af. Literally selling public land access. Parking in crosswalks, bus stop, intersections, and taking up 25% of the entire blocks public parking is messed up.

I had totally forgotten about that. Yeah, that was huge -- and the fact that the Quincy police did nothing to stop it was also telling.

there’s pretty clearly much more to the story here, i doubt the dude knocked on his door and he opened up with “YOU’RE HERE TO STEAL IT ALL” before cackling and knocking him out

The old man had the last laugh, though. While he distracted Keka, his nephew snuck in the back. He was discovered pretty quickly, so he only managed to steal some of the business.

I really don't think so. Other Quincy Center business owners/managers always described Keka as uber-aggressive to deal with. He seemed aggressive to the point of paranoia and it didn't take a lot to set him off. People joked about how much of the profits were going up his nose, given his erratic behavior. He would toss customers out of the place if they sent stuff back to the kitchen.

The Napoli owner and his wife -- Guy and Josephine -- were really awesome. They were supportive of the area businesses. They wanted Quincy Center to succeed, not just their shop. When I took over a business in the center, they came in to meet/welcome us, brought us lunch, etc., etc. Other managers/owners always spoke really highly of the Consolis and they steered away from Keka.

Other bartenders in the area said not to go there cuz he's a racist. So I won't ever be going.
