Because you can't just kick a current lease holding tenant out without an agreement, right? Is Hank taking the money and running? <br /><br />This project is bugging me. It was supposed to be this good thing, right? That existing tenants got to purchase their brand new apartments for almost nothing, and the Mars Bar would come <i>back</i> instead of be dead. One is clearly better than the other. <br /><br />We know it wouldn't be the <i>same</i>, but if you just open it with white walls like before it would be "lived in" soon enough, right? <br /><br />Give a pen to Penley, it wouldn't take long! <br />Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53988435536334574332012-12-07T17:29:33.566-05:002012-12-07T17:29:33.566-05:00I was sure it was promised that Mars Bar be able t...I was sure it was promised that Mars Bar be able to return.

So, if it doesn't, or if it is not replaced by a similar venue (a wine bar that costs $13 a glass doesn't count), then people should raise a huge stink about it. Ultimately you can't do much, they didn't really have to ask for government support in building it (zoning variances, tax-free bonds, etc.), but the neighborhood shouldn't allow a set precedent of broken development promisesBrian Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368272923390455205noreply@blogger.com
