The Blockbuster on Hillcrest at University is closing. An employee told us Chase Bank is moving in. I’m happy for Chase, but I hate losing the video store. The closest one will be on Lovers and Greenville.

I’d be surprised if that was the case – in this city even the threat of a wholly meritless (no pun intended)lawsuit is enough to get the city to roll over.

Thanks for the information. I know little about the BoA, are they elected or appointed? Random locals or experienced professionals? I ask because my gut reaction to the filing is that the BoA knew what the correct legal interpretation was, but colluded to vote unanimously the other way in order to provide themselves with political cover against a vocal minority. This despite the lawsuit that would assuredly come and the cost to the good people of UP to defend against it.
