Trees? Aw, Nuts || January 24, 2007

FrontBurner has posted the full text of Kenny Brattain's no-more-Trees spiel from earlier today--which we weren't e-mailed, by the way...what gives? No matter, though. The words and the whining are out there, and though we're reluctant to dole out all-out sympathy (permits and regulations are, uh, expected when it comes to opening a nightclub in Dallas), one part strikes us as odd:

Now we are told by Karl Evens that we cannot charge for parking. So the 20 parking spaces we have, we cannot charge for, and we cannot charge for the contracted 30 remote parking spaces.

Huh? While we hate paying for parking as much as the next guy, we've yet to stumble upon any of these free, magical parking spots in Deep Ellum. We'll investigate further and get back to you when it makes sense. -SM
