. >> peter parastil? >> or are there any other members of the public here to speak on this item? >> good evening, my name is lee elson and i am here to express my support for the barrel head, restaurant and brewery, i live two steps away and share a backyard, and it has been closed for ten years now, the building has been deter ating and what happens with the buildings that are vacant and we have got a lot of trouble over there and negative attention, and homeless encampments and graffiti and broken glass and i have several instances where i am uncomfortable and fear for my own safety so much so that i don't approach that side of the block at night. i think that it would be wonderful to open this, talking to my neighbors, we are blown away and can't believe that this is a possibility that it could happen and that this business could open and our community could just really try. and we have nothing like this in the neighborhood, except for a row of vacant buildings. and i am so excited for this to happen, i ask for your support, and making this happen, and the extending the hours
