I finally heard back from the City on the permit paperwork I've been waiting on. He should finish the review this week and issue my letter next week. He must have been on vacation last week because that took way longer than I expected. *Frown* I'm very unlikely to hit my Grand Opening target of Labor Day weekend, Saturday, 9/4. A customer pointed out that the next Saturday is 9/11, so that might be a bad weekend to plan an Opening. So I'm thinking 9/18. I'll open my doors for customers as soon as I get occupancy, but the big event might be a week or two later.
