Is Springfield Ready for a Car Wash?

[thelakelander]

There are much larger issues at play.  I think the car wash just unfortunately got caught up in the middle of a neighborhood gentrification battle.  My guess is, if things don't change quick, this project won't be the last.

I think we, as a neighborhood, need to become educated on "gentrification".

When I lived in San Fran, I was made aware of gender reassignment, does that count?

[sheclown]

It is a similar process, only more painful.

Oh come on. You guys kept on opposing it even after he had the formal proposal drawn, and invented a rumor that it was going to be a convenience-store-in-disguise out of thin air to scare people...

I invented no such thing...

Uh huh...

This is just sad.  SPAR needs to get the hell out of the way and let businesses move forward.  It may be a car wash, but it's the nicest damn car wash I've ever seen and looking at the before and after, thanks to Content Design, this is a GARGANTUAN improvement on that portion of the neighborhood.  It seems to me that SPAR has an axe to grind and they are just gettin down on this sucker!

"It seems to me that SPAR has an axe to grind and they are just gettin down on this sucker!"

- while i don't think appealing should be a high priority personally, they don't "have an axe to grind". making stuff up isn't a good thing to do.

[fsu813]

yes. you're right. a conspiracy years in the making.

anyone who wants to know why they are appealing, just ask them: 353-7727.

[ChriswUfGator]

I thought you personally spoke for them, FSU.

No I got schooled in that the other day...

See, it goes like this. Some SPAR members, officers, or directors, get together, usually at a SPAR meeting at the SPAR building, and based on information from other SPAR members, officers, or directors, they decide to take some action that follows SPAR's position on things, but then if the $h!t hits the fan, it's somehow not "officially" SPAR that's doing it. Makes a lotta sense to me.

I think I compared it to when Bernie Madoff got arrested, all the news channels always had to say "allegedly," they couldn't just call him a crook yet. So that's apparently how it works.

[sheclown]

so...

"Evil SPAR Zombies will [allegedly] Eat Silas Jones Brain if they Must! Will Appeal Car Wash!"

[ChriswUfGator]

More like "Evil allegedly-SPAR zombies will eat Silas Jones' brain if they must...but not 'officially' on behalf of SPAR"

LMFAO!

[sheclown]

Some claim Evil allegedly-SPAR zombies propose to eat Silas Jones' brain if they must...but not 'officially' on behalf of SPAR, or any other organization, or local group.

Sheclown I have seen you on this web profess your love of Jesus.  Is this what faith teaches? namecall namecall namecall.  Is there a beatitude to fit this action.  This kind of belies the teachings of Christ.  Surely opposition to any matter could be done without this.

I was very happy with the outcome of the meeting, Silas Jones and his brains got the go ahead with his carwash and the community was protected.

I am now thinking of donating money to the neighbors who are protesting,  they do have the right, unless "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"
