MANA’s posted on their website the MOA (form chosen by MANA and Selig) and the Conditions attached to Selig’s ZBOA request. The key reps for the surrounding neighborhoods greatly appreciate MANA for entering into the agreement on behalf of all of our neighborhoods, and we commend Selig and Walmart for being receptive to taking our neighborhoods’ concerns into account as they redevelop Suburban Plaza.

They also suggested that parking can’t be evaluated until the other actual tenants are known. So it’s sort of a toss-up.

I may not want a moderator in every part of my life but I appreciate having one here. Besides, I think of a blog as someone’s living room where the contributors are the guests. The host gets to call the shots. If you don’t care for that kind of party, there are other parties or one could begin one’s own party. In a world of increasing incivility, I worship the people who try to keep it nice.

did any of Wal-Mart’s opponents speak to the actual issues? I wasn’t there and it’s been difficult to get a believable account of what actually happened.
