« Disgraceful Event in Billy Taylor Park | Main | I could only roll my eyes . . . »
UPDATE: Disgrace in BTP
We have learned several things so far.
We spoke with the Parks Department and learned that no permit was pulled for an event in Billy Taylor Park. The person in charge of that park was quite upset and surprised that an un-permited event had been held in the park involving fires, food, and live and recorded music and that Camp Street had been illegally closed.
She suggested we contact the Police Department since they had told us the event was permitted.
I called the police department for more information, because yesterday around 3pm an officer came to my house at my request to answer a call for service that I had put in for a noise complaint. The policeman told me that there was a permit for the event and that it was good until 9pm.
According to the parks department no permit was issued and no permits are ever issued to go as late as 9pm.
I'm trying to contact the officer to learn why he thought that the event was permitted and why he thought it was permitted until 9 pm.
If anyone has any information on this event use the comments tab below or click on this link to send a post: Blog Entry.
I will update this entry as more information is available.

I could only roll my eyes when I saw the sawhorse and boxes blocking Cypress Street yesterday afternoon. Obviously not an official roadblock. I find it amusing at best that a permitless event could block 2 major streets in the city without anyone with authority seeming to care.
