The work on the Park View Recreation Center’s field renovations is moving along at a very quick pace, so much so that is could be completed around June 20th, give or take a day. One item I’m still uncertain about is perimeter fencing which in some cases is too short and in others needs to be moved.
Below are some images showing the progress thus far.

King’s Deli & Grocery on the corner of Georgia and Quebec
At the end of April, I reported that King’s Deli’s application to sell beer, wine, and spirits was approved by the ABRA Board. However, they weren’t yet able to do that because there was no signed Board Order documenting the protest hearing and the outcome of that hearing.
A signed Board Order was expected as early as May 2, 2012, but actually did not get signed until June 6, 2012. In reading over the Order, the most important detail is that the Class A license was issued to King’s with a ban on selling singles in place. The full text of the Order is below:
