What kind of smokes are you selling?

Pete, I can see you wandering around the threads. We are over here!

So, nobody wanted to buy that used car I posted???

I disagree, friendship means supporting ones choices. Besides, no misery here!

Hoping to strike a compromise between the El Gigante Super Mall and its neighbors, Grand Rapids city commissioners on Tuesday decided to partially rezone the property.

The building that houses the former Woodland Skating Center will be given a commercial zoning designation. But the parking lot on the building's south side will keep its residential zoning.

The rezoning was requested by Enrique Ayala, owner of the El Gigante Super Mall. Part of the building fell in a residential zone while the other part was zoned commercial.

Ayala said having part of the building zoned residential effectively controlled the zoning for the entire facility and inhibited his plans to operate his indoor marketplace and banquet property.

Neighborhood residents objected to the zoning change, saying they feared an expansion of his business would bring traffic and parking congestion.

In a public hearing two weeks earlier, Ayala angrily accused the neighbors of racism for their objections to his business, which is aimed at the Hispanic community.

City commissioners decided to rezone the building but leave the parking lot residential as a buffer zone. First Ward Commissioner James Jendrasiak said the new designation will not allow Ayala to get a liquor license or operate a concert hall without coming back to the City Commission. "And I don't think this commission will support that kind of use," he said.

Second Ward Commissioner Lynn Rabaut, who voted against the rezoning, said it appears that past commissions decided to split the zoning intentionally..

Third Ward Commissioner Scott Bowen voted against the rezoning, saying Ayala should have known part of the building was in a residential zone.

There's far too much heat and not enough light on this." he said.

Thats right, so support my choice.;)

I know, so what do you think they mean by that?

So if I read that right we will not get to go back in there. If he has gone this far he is not going to want us back.:mad:

Not a problem. So then, are you getting ready for Tuesday evenings at 6:00??

Heck no, what you see is what you get.:thumbsup:

Well, I think it means they tossed him a bone to shut him up. He still didn't get his way about his banquet hall or liquer license. My thought is that it's simply been re-zoned to commercial now, which doesn't change anything as far as what he intends to use it for. Except for the south side parking lot, which is residential.

Maybe we should get Tiny to give him a call and feel him out.
For some reason that sounds wrong, but you get the drift.

Hey Johnny Boy...

Hey Johnny Boy...

Whats the word on pole barn usage this sunday? Can I use a space? You gonna be home? Gotta get them brakes done so I can drive the original beastie!!!:lol: :devil: :lol:

Oh, I was just asking Pete if he wanted to call Enrique and see about us getting back in the old skating rink, and did he think it was worth making the call or not. After all, they still didn't get their liquor license or zoned for a banquet hall!

Actually I'm not going to be around. I'm driving down to Tennessee for a couple of days.

Oh well- at least it gives me time to look at a few "perfomance" goodies for it. Yes they actually DO make perfomance upgrades for an 85 Chrysler FWD P.O.S.!!!

Lemme guess, your gonna jack up the radiator cap and drive a hemi cuda underneath it????

:eek: ;) :eek:

Don't I wish... I could use a nice plum crazy cuda with the flat black stripes though!!!:devil:

But really. I'm just tinkering with the idea of boost up my horsepower over the whopping 97 h.p. from the factory. Maybe some sport suspension. Nothing overly crazy. You know me!


Wait... Lemme re-phrase that...

Hola cómo son usted mi amigo,

Son usted ir a estar compitiendo este sábado. ¿Que tal la carrera de noche, va a ser allí para que uno a?

Well???? (just trying to get my posts back to 1300!)

Is there a translator in the house?

Fred,

NitroSmackMatic is here, maybe he'll answer my questions. Also, why don't you take yourself off invisible mode so I know when your on? I tried buzzing you up on your NexTime, but you must have had it off.

Dude, if that's all it's got is 97 HP, then I'd think taking the air cleaner off would get ya up over at least 100, maybe even add a glasspack with some high performance muffler bearings!!!! Hehehehehehehe!

Hey Mike....... can ya hear me now??? Good, good! Did somebody disconnect your keyboard or something????

J-glo my post count went down also I think it was probably because of Hank moving the threads around.
