I know for a fact that the "parking" issue with Bold Bean was 100 percent related to their sale of alcohol. They had a handshake agreement with Southside Baptist Church to use their parking lot until they wanted to serve beer outside. When that happened, suddenly parking became an issue. Those two tables outside pushed them right over the parking limit... they weren't a problem when you couldn't take your beer out there, of course.

It's strange that nobody has raised any question about where the patrons and staff of Industry West will park. It seemed like it was a pretty big deal when Flying Iguana wanted to move into that space.

Hey, I guess we shouldn't complain too much. If it was another local Baptist group we might not even have The Loop.
