“Take the $15 million and buy something someplace else” a voice on the phone demanded, but Eddie Thomas Freeman, owner of Sugarhill Restaurant & Supper Club located at 609-615 Dekalb Ave. (corner of Nostrand Avenue) in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, continues to push back against the relentless tide of realtors and developers seeking a sale in a display of unwavering, uncompromising values ascending to celebrate 39 years of service to the community.
