Talk about your invidious comparisons. The Westgate parking lot is hardly comparable to Burns Park. All kinds of temporary sales things have been set up in that lot–it’s a legitimate commercial use (the question of fireworks aside–I agree with you there). Do you think they’d get a permit to set up in Vets Park or the Winewood-Thaler neighborhood? Unlikely.

“Wendy Woods asked if they would sell apparel as well – Rodriguez said they would. He added that they would likely return to the location for special events – if a sports team wins a championship, for example – to sell specialty items. Each time they put up the tent anew, they are required to have new inspections by the fire marshal, he noted.”

I’m guessing if someone wants to set up a tent year round to sell t-shirts and fireworks on the Old West Side or Burns Park, they’re out of luck. But on the far westside, anything goes for the planning commission.

Hopefully no ten year olds will get their fingers blown off since there are no age restrictions for puruchasing in our great city.
