thanks, GMOM

i call it being a responsible adult. i know, i know crazy right? actually acting like you’re a functioning part of the Earth and all, paying attention to what’s going on around you. novel idea, no doubt.

it’s been my experience that you get what you give.

corny, yeah i know. but so is this and i love it so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA_0cvd1EUM

Comment retracted. Either way, I agree with the rest of yous — not a good move by the City Council. We seem to say that a lot around here.

JRP – Love the way you think, like the movie “Pay it Forward” If you see a kid in uniform in an airport, ask if you can help him/her!! The kids that demonstrated about Booker T becoming Nancy Hamon Arts Mag. certainly won, so why can’t “concerned citizens” do the same on Ross Avenue? Who ARE these peeps that want to change everything?

Zac you were right. Suck it Tom.

Because it failed to win a special-use permit Wednesday, the shop will have to close in 2010, city officials said.

skirting laws/policies/fees is a hobby of mine that i wish more of you would take up

Zac unless I’m reading the story wrong, you had it right in the beginning. The shop has to close in 2010. The special use permit would have allowed them to stay open only until 2012 — not indefinitely.

1) As if Dallas doesn’t already have enough soul-less glitz, now City Council is determined to shove more down our throats — at the expense of honest businesspeople, no less. I usually admire Hunt, but she’s she’s showing an unbecoming side of herself here: a tendency, and willingness, to kill ants with a cudgel.

The West Village is fine for what it is, but who wants an entire city of it?

1.
Dont forget that Ross Ave Ignition is on the same lot. They do all mechanical work you need done on your car, tires too, and Robin will give you a ride home,…..and pick you up. Richard is a great mechanic and so is the other guy there that never talks!!!!!OK we’ve got two older cars…

Do they have any recourse since now as yikes points out that the property is now about as valuable as a bucket of ****? Or have I just realized how the sup process works? Devalue property by kicking them out and your “buddy” I mean, reputable business person buys property for nothing and then sells it for a truckload of dough……wow how slimy

Woodard should have shut down when either, a) they were made an offer for their real estate that they couldn’t refuse, or b) they decided it was time to retire.

A government should not have this much power over people’s property and lives.
