Apparently multiple levels of government screwed up when issuing the permits for Spec's on Washington. A lawsuit has been brought to close it because it is supposedly too close to a school. An online petition has been created to voice support to keep it open. Go sign it if you like Spec's, like good food and drink, or don't want to see a local business punished unnecessarily.

Can anyone verify about new rail underpasses being constructed for the Southern Pacific line south of I-10? I was told that TC Jester, Durham, Shepherd, Heights, and Studemont will be dug underneath the rail line beginning this year. If true, it will completely suck during the construction. But, once complete, it will be quite nice to have more than one surface street not blocked by the train. Plus, it will cut down on the horn blasts at 4am!
