Moving day at the Gulfstream?
One of this blog's intrepid readers stumbled on this activity going on at the Gulfstream Hotel yesterday and snapped these pictures. Curious, he noticed that the moving truck was filled with furniture pieces. Apparently our downtown, waterfront, park-front, historic hotel is being used for storage - during the height of tourist season in the midst of the city's centennial year.

John Steinbeck
"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."

Stool samples in front of Igot's
Many years ago, when Igot's asked for a proximity waiver from the Planning and Zoning Board, they also asked for permission to install bar stools along the Lake Avenue side of their business. I remember the board reacting with a loud and clear "no" and I believe that the prohibition of bar stools made it in to the final motion. I also recall the board having a concern about the establishment serving patrons directly through the open window(s). We also were concerned about people walking, with drinks in hand, back and forth across K Street.
It is my understanding that staff is aware of this recent development and that concern has been expressed by others. They are working on resolving the problem.
We seem to be veering towards a culture where it is easier to ask forgiveness than for permission. What do you think? Is this a big deal and the city should make them remove them or should we just let it happen?
Is this the next place for these things? |
