LISBON, Maine -
Graziano's Casa Mia, which served Italian fare for more than 40 years from its location on Route 196 in Lisbon, has closed its doors.
The owners of the restaurant announced the closing Friday morning with a posting on Facebook, saying "The Graziano's have left the building. After 43 years of full bellies, friendly smiles and impassioned dinner conversations, we have closed the doors to our Lisbon location for the final time."http://www.wmtw.com/news/maine/central/Longtime-Lisbon-Italian-restaurant-closes/-/8791976/9687892/-/xjkuaqz/-/index.html
Besides Italian cuisine, the restaurant also was known for its extension collection of boxing memorabilia and photos.
The owners did not give a reason for the closing but thanked their employees as well as their customers and friends.
According to the business' website, the restaurant was founded in 1969 by Joe Graziano, a native New Yorker who moved to Maine in the mid-1960s to open a McDonald's Restaurant in Lewiston. Graziano died in 2000.
The Grazianos could not be reached for additional comment.

This film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations
in the United States, with an emphasis on the "elitist theory of
democracy" and the relationship between war, propaganda, and class.
It exposes government and corporate activities to blur the
lines between real news and fake news, as well as the development
over time of public relations misinformation campaigns.

Psywar: The Real Battlefield Is Your Mind
Film by Scott Noble
Published date: October 14, 2010This film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the "elitist theory of democracy" and the relationship between war, propaganda and class.
Includes original interviews with a number of dissident scholars including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Peter Phillips ("Project Censored"), John Stauber ("PR Watch"), Christopher Simpson ("The Science of Coercion") and others.
The film explores corporate and government use of propaganda and public relations to manipulate American people. The movie explores how the U.S. government staged events to manipulate public opinion about the Iraq war, like the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, the supposedly spontaneous mob that pulled over the larger-than-life statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
It also discusses the Pentagon pundit scandal, and the hidden activities of the Rendon Group, a PR firm specializing in spinning war. The film exposes government and corporate activities to blur the lines between real news and fake news, as well as the development over time of public relations misinformation campaigns, strategic corporate campaigns to generate goodwill and the perception of good works, the use of staged photo-ops, and other manipulative PR tools that have turned the land of the free and the home of the brave into a place where citizens are now manipulated with great efficiency, and on a massive scale.
As promised, after the acquisition of New Chapter by P&G, we've begun to really dig into Procter & Gamble's background, ethics and board of directors. So far we've found the company steeped in accusations of animal testing, including alleged cruelty to dogs in its pet food line, according to animal welfare activists.
In my investigative report today, I'm also revealing ties between P&Gs board of directors and weapons manufacturers, Homeland Security, Diebold (black box voting), Big Pharma, mining operations, global banking giants and a whole lot more. This does not paint a pretty picture of the kind of people who run the joint...

Are corporations like P&G and Monsanto taking over the natural products industry? Today I interviewed the founder of Sunfood, David Wolfe, who goes public with how he says he was betrayed and squeezed out of his company by a corporate operator who he claims has ties to Monsanto. A stunning interview in which David and I discuss corporate ethics, why "selling out" isn't fulfilling, and why small, authentic natural products companies should sternly resist corporate buyouts and acquisitions.

U.S. battles Obama's 'tremendous evil'
Americans in more than 130 cities take to streets in national uprising
by Chelsea Schilling
When the clock strikes 12 p.m. March 23, thousands of Americans in more than 130 U.S. cities will take a stand with one unified voice against Obamacare’s mandatory contraceptive and abortion-inducing drug coverage.
At the “Stand Up For Religious Freedom – Stop the HHS Mandate” rallies across the nation, the crowds will protest the recent contraceptives mandate and publicly voice their demand that the government protect religious liberty and stop forcing religious groups to cover drug-induced abortions.
March 23 is the second anniversary of the passage of Obamacare. The Obama administration has claimed it’s willing to help insurance companies offset the cost of free birth control for women working for religious institutions such as hospitals and colleges. Under the plan, students and workers may obtain contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs from insurance companies without a copay.
However, Eric Scheidler, executive director of Pro Life Action League, told WND he’s not buying the White House’s “compromise.”
