    Mansfield residents upset over homeowner's association abuse of power

    He parked his car in his lawn? That is one of the tackiest things I have ever heard, I'm glad the towed his car.

    Seriously, who does that? I hope he learned his lesson to never to something as trashy as that again.

    As for the boat, rules are rules, she knowingly broke the rules and is mad that they towed her instead of writing her a letter telling her that she broke a rule that she already knew she broke and did so willingly.

    What is wrong with people?

    UPDATED: N9NE Steakhouse in Dallas' Victory Park appears to have closed Wednesday night

    Sad for Dallas? Sad for the employees but I don't know that it is really a great loss to Dallas.

    Dallas County plan to collect unpaid fines may be logistically flawed

    The line of reasoning is that it gives cops an excuse to pull people over and arrest them with no other just cause to do so except an expired sticker.

    UPDATED x 2: Historic Hard Rock Cafe building in Dallas gets the axe

    Mr Landes, I gave you the chance to explain how Ms. Hunt, The Dallas Observer and myself all misunderstood what you were saying when you made those statements. You have chosen not to address that so I feel my only option is to believe them as truth. Unless you want to explain otherwise I have no other option than to believe that you lied to me, Ms. Hunt and the media. Your word is worth nothing anymore to me and I suspect Ms. Hunt and many other people as well.

    UPDATED x 2: Historic Hard Rock Cafe building in Dallas gets the axe

    Maybe they're both telling the truth. Maybe he intended to save the building at the time the comments were made, but later on realized that it was financially unfeasible.

    It's like when you tell your kid, "Sure you can be President when you grow up," and then a decade later, sit him down and explain that you really can't afford to send him to Yale, and it might be a good idea for him to stop spending so much money on stereo equipment and maybe get a job to pay for community college in the fall. -Pavel Lishin

    Did he say he was going to try really hard and save it? Did he say he was going to save it if it was financially feasible?

    What Ms. Hunt and the media is saying is that he flat out said he would keep the structure. Had that promise not been made I think you would have seen a lot more support from the community for a historic designation and a much greater chance for it receiving one.

    I am simply asking him, is what the media and Ms. Hunt saying inaccurate, did he not promise that he would not tear down the building. Is the quote ""Landes is promising not to tear down the building. That's what he told the Landmark Commission on Monday" inaccurate or did he make that promise to the Landmark Commission, Ms. Hunt and the community and then break it?

    "Landes is promising not to tear down the building. That's what he told the
    Landmark Commission on Monday, where the fate of the 97-year-old former McKinney Avenue Baptist Church was to be decided, till it was pushed back to the April 2 meeting. Landes' broker, Uptown and downtown real-estate man Jack Gosnell, told the commission Landes would leave it standing if the city would just back off. " -Dallas Observer

    "Landes should be able to do whatever he wants with the building, which he has promised not to raze. " - Dallas Observer

    "My instructions have been to lease the existing building," he says. "We were not interested in flipping the real estate, we were not interested in talking to developers about developing the site out." - Dallas Observer

    Gosnell says they have nothing to worry about, that his client will keep the building standing. - Dallas Observer

    Mr Landes, did you and your representatives make those and similar statements or not? Are they the truth?

    Are you calling the media and Ms. Hunt liars? The fact is someone is not telling the truth here, Either you told the community, the media and Ms. Hunt that you would not tear this structure down and then did or everyone else is lying.

    Who is not telling the truth?
