Let's Talk About Illegal Activity

Ladies & Gentlemen,

If you or I were to open a business within the City limits and or the County, you'd be subjected to certain qualifications. One of the MAIN qualifications would be PARKING! Depending on the amount of people expected to work and or visit your business, a specific guideline is set and you must meet the minimal standards.

What I'd like to know is, how in the hell did they open this Civic Center without meeting anywhere near the standards? It is illegal to operate this business and just like you and I, it should be shut down! If WE have to follow these guidelines, so should Local Government!

That being said, even SEACRETS doesn't pay $5,000,000.00 for a 5 acre parking lot! Nobody is that stupid, unless you're in Manhattan! Mr. Macke needs to wake up to reality. Now that he's opened Pandora's box, it's time certain officials come to learn of this illegal practice going on at the Civic Center.

You know what's going to really suck Folks? As soon as most of this Council is gone and the Mayor is gone, what the hell am I going to do then? There are stories like this almost every day under their leadership and once they're cleared out I'll probably be covering girls volleyball at the Fruitland Sports Center. Nevertheless, thanks for making it so easy for now Barrie.

I know what you can do then, Joe. You can start exposing the customer service horrors that occur when you deal with the large companies in the area such as Homo depot and Lowe's. You know ya get what you pay for. If you go to a locally owned and operated retail establishment you may pay a little more but the amount of personal service you receive is more than worth it. If you were to do this, many people would respond with both good and bad experiences and everyone would come to know the good companies with which to do business. Everyone else can close thier doors as far as I'm concerned.

I could have had it for $4,000,000.00 and very seriously considered it with some partners.

We felt it was a perfect place for Bike Week but felt the neighbors would go nuts over the idea. Nevertheless, it could have brought millions of dollars for one week worth of noise.
