So I want to say that I, too, my first job was city of Atlanta across the street from where you are now at the golf course. And so I, too, understand how getting a employment within the city of Atlanta will open up some different doors.

And you see Mays and you see North and you see North Atlanta and you see Doug and you see Midtown. And so that lets you know that lets you know you can have this space.

I was even thinking about when it got pulled today and thinking about the district that pulled the legislation. On one street, you have more restaurants like this than we do in our entire district. And so we truly need this, similar to Jamrock, when we made sure Jamrock could, for the first time in 30 years, be able to offer a different option. I know a lot of other districts across the city, you all have access to a lot of things that we want. And so…”
