the plot thickens....

We had our jstreet merchants meeting this morning and guess who having invited herself, never bothered to show...the ANA prez, (mz I'm gonna be voodoo-d )Cindy Schulte...
By not showing she increased the suspicions of all of the merchants and now it has worked to pull the more apathetic ones securely into the larger group.

Letter to ANA left on desk stating that we expect to be put on planning board and given current info...cc to Ostrow, CPED, Ryback, Hillcrest development and the City Council...if no info is forthcoming it will be the press at everyturn and the neighborhood. Legally, it has to be an open process and they have locked it down to the public, Shame on you.

the detective work has begun..public records, public info requests... purchase agreements.

I guess a good fight for the businesses I love as welll as the one I have poured my heart into is good and necessary...
It's also a distraction from loneliness and spring fever, if ya know what I mean...

I know I trust my customers to stand up for me. I also trust my lawyer, when he says they cannot pull emminent domain on the lot. What the developers can do tho, is to buy out all of the landlords that our businesses are housed in. No controll over that.

I choose to believe that we will be okay...and that we are smaart enough to predict the bad behaviors and counter them before it is too late.

Fuck y'all for your underhanded shit, Cindy and Hillcrest..and Paul Ostrow, if you are part of this, you will not be re-elected, I promise .
