Victory Over 7-Eleven

I am inspired by the 2-2 victory Monday night over 7-ELEVEN before the St. Augustine City Commission, affirming hte February HARB 4-0 decision.
The air in the City Commission was warm, and in FDR's words at Franklin Field in Philadelphia in 1944 (a rally my mother attended): "I felt the crowd, and it warmed me."
Upon re-entering the room after the recess, I said, "It's warm in here," to which 7-ELEVEN lawyer JAMES GEORGE WHITEHOUSE sad, "hot air."
WHITEHOUSE should know. See below for account of HARB hearing, rejecting 7-ELEVEN's plan to destroy our historic downtown with twelve gas pumps at its busiest intersection, rated an F by FDOT.
