Dear City Council,
Was their operating license and approval to operate issued as “approved unless we change our mind”?
There was a BBQ business there prior to A&M. Why would you choose to entertain the idea of shutting down something that adds diversity to your 99% white, enlightened, yuppy city? It’s one of, if not the only Black owned business there. Surely there must be a compromise, just like you all compromised on adding a chain restaurant… Little Cesar’s.
