A hot pan of oil boom it went. We had a lot of responses, including a pretty hardedge one from mayor nutter. Heres what he had to say. Anyone who is not smart enough to at least ask him to stay is probably not smart enough to run this city. And this was beyond the mayor. We had seth williams, whos an ally of Tony Williams, who tweeted out support for chief ramsey. We had the black clergy come out and say, we like him just fine. Was this a smart or not smart thing for Tony Williams to have done .

An online zoning meeting this Thursday will focus on a proposed 83-unit apartment building on the site of a shuttered dog park and other properties near 48th and Chester, adjacent to the Renaissance Health Care & Rehabilitation Center.
Renaissance seeks to combine several properties it owns – including an empty lot at 4720-24 Chester Ave. (formerly the Chester Avenue Dog Park), and adjacent properties at 1115 and 1119 S. 48th St. The properties are zoned RTA-1, RM1, and Commercial Mixed-Use (CMX-2). The proposal also seeks a single zoning designation for the new lot.
The proposed apartment building would be adjacent to the existing center and share an enlarged parking lot with it that would include 85 parking spaces (expanded from the current 41).
