That is not Grandma under the covers!!

Alert to all who live near, or around the 400 Fresard Property. Tonite 6:30PM July 17th room 309 City Hall there will be presented before the Planning Commission an unacceptable in my opinion ploy to change the 400 Main original plan that still does not have signed on the dotted line any hotel including the Hyatt! Guess What! They want a 282 SEAT Rooftop BAR!- no doubt ready to serenade Barton Towers, Pingree. University and Troy with the latest TECHNO BOOM dance sounds while at the same time attracting more cars cruising our already besieged streets looking for parking. Yes, instead of an additional parking structure which is badly needed for the already existing deficit in parking caused by E-Magine, and the extended Hamlin now they want to feature the tallest bar in the city! The planned landscaping and buffer zone agonized over at so many previous meetings-FORGEDABOUTIT! No Little Red Riding Hood this is not grandma under the covers. If you don't show up and its approved it will be too late to go and complain to the commission that may ram this through this Thursday 7:30 PM July 21st! Then if you want to be listened to you may have to go to one of the licensed therapy dogs the library offers ever so often.
Well only a half dozen protesters showed up. It seems the special interests and the lawyers you elect who serve them will win out again, and again and again. This will go on until residents unite instead of nit picking on who is more right among us.
