Just When You Thought It Was Safe...

It’s baaaaaaaaack!  Once again, La Puerta del Sol makes an appearance in the ABH and here at AthPo.  The ABH reports it here and editorializes about it here.

Y’see, the LPDS guys have resubmitted their plans for the site.  Compromise is king here, as the live music is gone, and the architecture is somewhat blander.  Hopefully this will be enough of a sop for the east side residents (especially Cedar Creekers) who opposed it.  More importantly, we hope that this will convince enough commissioners that the folks who oppose it, led by ACC’s favorite windmill tilter States McCarter, are opposing it more and more out of spite, rather than out of legitimate objections.  Some folks just don’t like to be wrong, which, come to think of it, might be why States had has panties in such a wad a few months ago.

Our only question is this: Will Bruno Rubio be able to produce the same tasty cuisine as he has in the past, or has he suffered permanent and debilitating spinal injuries as a result of all the bending over backwards he’s done in the last three months?

Also, please note the delicate race dancing that the ABH does in the editorial.  Basically, they say, “Oh yeah, States is a good guy and definitely not a racist.  But yeah, he kind of is.”

The smartest thing that LPDS could do right now would be to release the details to the ABH and post them on their own site.

But you're right, if we've learned anything, it's that you can't always take the ABH at their word. Ask the Chamber of Commerce.
