Notable Quotes (3)
I took it as a slap to the face how they took out all the businesses, put this little itty bitty business in the corner and saying, 'Oh, there's your little business.'
September 7th is a Sunday night. Allowing amplified sound in an area next to a residential district until 11 p.m. feels unreasonable to me.
I will be voting no on this resolution in hopes of something with more commercial in the future.
