Been getting a lot of queries like this one from Ryan:
“I noticed the other night that they’re completely digging up the parking lot on Sherman. Howard has re-zoned a number of their properties along Sherman and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether they’re building here as well?”
And Brian notes: “This is is the lot where they’d park their beat-up Howard police cruisers.”
