As also noted, no more than 100 parking spaces. We appreciate your transparent attempt to sound reasonable, but it's still pretty transparent. Are you clockin' glasses of wine at the restaurants, too? Or is it OK for someone to plow through a couple of bottles of pinot noir before hitting the roads of Clifton?
I will so enjoy my first glass of beer there, knowing how much it pisses some of you off.
