CB3 Panel Signals Approval of Freemans Expansion Plan

A few minutes ago Freemans co-owner William Tigertt tweeted:

With a speech and courtroom shouting scene straight out of A Few Good Men, Freemans passed Community Board 3 for our second floor expansion.

That’s not the half of it. This evening was a bizarre one even for CB3′s SLA Committee. Tomorrow we’ll have details of a series of tense confrontations between CB3′s David McWater and other members of the committee.
