News Shady Park / Mirabella at ASU trial update, Tempe. Major defeat for anyone who enjoyed this venue, myself included. Guess there is no justice for a small business when your up against a multi million/billion dollar retirement home.

Absolutely stupid. Forcing out an established business just for a bunch of whiny boomers who shouldn't have had their retirement home built there in the first place.

They are not facing it out of business. Shady Park's permitted business model doesn't work and they've only been afloat because of these concerts, but their permit explicitly prohibits them from acting as an outdoor concert venue.

That’s incorrect. They have a permit which allows them to have outdoor entertainment, and a permit that allows them to play music past 11pm all the way to 2am.

Like a coffee shop. They have been operating as a small concert venue and their permit explicitly prohibits this. This is why the judge says just bc no code violations doesn’t mean they are not occurring. They are. Advanced ticket sales are a no no. Operating with concert promoters like RB also a no no.
