  1. “we are glad that this restaurant is not located on West Franklin Street because the Zoning Appeals Board would put a quick nix to this from happening?”

    Oh! ouch! that’s going to leave a bruise. If Evansville obeyed its own ordinances the Ford center could not have been built.

  2. IS IT TRUE that on Monday’s City-Council Meeting, an Ordinance will be presented to make Steve Schaefer Deputy Mayor, and give him the ability to take over as Mayor if Mayor Winnecke were to leave office?

    IS IT TRUE that this is a major departure from what the current code is? That this smells like Patronage and Hand Picking Successors?

  3. If the Mayor’s office becomes vacated for any reason, Wayne Parke, Chairman VCRP would call a caucus to fill the vacancy. That is the rules and the City Council cannot change them.

  4. Did the Demos ever pay off their Bauer Haus bill and the damage to the Walker Building after they left a smoking window open in their HQ and the water pipes froze and burst?

  6. Undercute the DoubleTree’s proposed $200/night corporate? Sounds like someone dis-interred Bob Green (Executive Inn) and is using his business model.
