  Jack Devines didn't use the patio because it was/is rat infested due to the porn shop next door....there is an over grown garden of sorts behind the porn shop between jack Devines' patio and bayou. That garden and the porn shop are havens for HUNDREDS of rats. Unless they expand the patio no chance it holds 200 ppl.... Tops 50 ppl....

  arm>"I'll just concede to your guys' point that "wishful thinking" is bad when people you disagree with exhibit it but is okay when you guys do the same." I don't know if pamp's was saying TT's wishful thinking by itself is 'bad' if it just remained at thinking or talking minus the actions (lawsuits, Pres Board. etc) that try to force it. If TT did wishful thinking to himself or shared it when talking (or tweet, blog, etc), that would look more similar to pamp's blog comments expressing wishful thinking about grain elevators going away. As far as I know,...

  Pamp's attorney> " If that's the difference, it doesn't seem pot-kettle." Much like an actual pot and kettle, Tielman and papinform's form of wishful thinking are not exactly the same. They are different in values (one wants our history to be used for our future while the other wants it erased) as well as how they are expressed (one does something about it while the other just expresses those feelings here). However, Tielman's wishing building owners would keep their properties in good condition and pamp's wishing that it wasn't advantageous for national, for-profit companies like CSX and Whitebox to ship...

  Tielman's attorney>"However, Tielman's wishing building owners would keep their properties in good condition" I've never noticed anyone disagreeing with that aspect of TT's wishful thinking, but another perfectly legal way to avoid buildings being in less than good condition is demo (unless of course a landmark or in a pres district). I thought what's in question was wishful thinking about long term viability of re-use when an owner wants to demo and TT doesn't want demo allowed, or perhaps TT's wishful thinking that owners shouldn't want to modify buildings in ways TT doesn't prefer (Lake Effect Man and Pearl St...

  Well, I'm not sure why you think that I'm favor of erasing our history. Just because I think that some things that are historical aren't worth saving doesn't mean that I think everything needs to be torn down. And I certainly do express my feelings here, just like you do Arm. I don't see you out chaining yourself to things to save them from being demolished either, much like I don't go around with a pro demolition sign. And you won't see me taking a company that wants to improve their property just because I have a purely aesthetic reason....
