I own a small business on S.Campbell.These are shots of the College Station construction in front of my store. We were given very little warning that our street would be closed. We were promised that on side of the sidewalk would be kept open at all times- not true. When we complain the city poo poos us and CID has done little to defend us. This has had a very negative impact on my business and apparently there is nothing I can do about it. This is the price of progress. The big guy stepping on the little guy.

I HAVE FRIENDS WHOSE BUSINESS HAS SUFFERED ACTUAL DAMAGES AT THE HANDS OF THE CITY, RIGHT IN THE SAME BLOCK AS YOUR BUSINESS. YOU ARE RIGHT. SAVE YOUR BREATH. THE CITY WON'T LISTEN UNLESS YOU SUE THEM.
