My Agent Can’t Help Me

Is Gambling Coming to Algiers?
Update 12/10/08: The Planning Commission rejected the zoning change application. YAY!! I just found out that there was a City Planning Commission meeting this afternoon, so obviously I missed it. Truthfully, I don’t attend these meetings anyway, so it wasn’t something I had on my to-do list when I planned my day. If I had…
