Appeal Filed Against Mellow Mushroom's Avondale Plans

[Lucasjj]

Everyone is accepting of the agreement. The talks are mostly asking the committee to make plans for the future. Unless some changes that the committee pushes opens up the agreement for more negotiating and cuases problems, this appears to be settled.

Well, we're in recess now that the public hearing portion is finished..  A few observations:

- My personal favorite moment was George Gabels dramatic presentation of a Mellow Mushroom Beer Koozie that he claims to have found "on the ground while strolling through Boone Park".   Utter bullshit.

- The WLA folks need to learn how to behave in Council Chambers.  Their inappropriate applause, heckling and generally boorish behavior only serve to discredit their ranks. 

- I really feel for the Avondale residents who've been sold a bill of goods on what Mellow Mushroom is.  These folks are going to be so relieved when the Pizza Hell Nightclub And Palace Of Fornication fails to actually materialize.  It's a PIZZA RESTAURANT YOU IDIOTS.

Had no idea Mojo was a great place to get some action. Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?

I still can't believe Mellow bothered negotiating this, they would have had a clean sweep.

I feel deprived.  I was under the impression it was a great place to score with a plate of smoked brisket. Next time, I'll ask for reserved seating in the special boom boom room.

Mrs. Lakelander might not be very happy!

Be right back, headed to Mojos to get laid.

Here is the TU's story:

A neighborhood group fighting Mellow Mushroom’s planned restaurant in the Shoppes of Avondale dropped its opposition after a settlement agreement scaled back the number of seats at the restaurant.
The Jacksonville City Council could vote Tuesday on the new requirements for the restaurant â€" the latest addition to the popular Shoppes destination where a shortage of parking has fueled complaints about spillover parking on nearby residential streets.

What's the over/under on how many times the WLA group calls in frivolous code violations on MM during its first week of operation?

[mbwright]

What is being applied to MM should also apply to all of the existing businesses, with regards to time of operation, and when and where they can sit, drink, eat, park, etc.  This is so unfair.  It also makes WLA win, which is the worst part.
