      <![CDATA[I live near the shop in question. At our neighborhood meeting last Tuesday, Mr. Tehrani sent two employees to inform us that he (Tehrani) said there is no problem, he would do nothing we wanted but would sue a number of the residents individually. All Coffee X Changes are owned by Tehrani, as is Club DV8. I called John Munger's office and no one there knows about a law suit and yes they do still represent Tehrani. Other local businesses do not present these problems. Thanks for the support and ideas.

      <![CDATA[Yes Angel, You may be correct. If Coffee-X-Change is a franchise there exists several ways to apply pressure to Tehrani to stop his evening service, to the extent it now disturbs the peace of the neighborhood.<br>
<br>
Within the next several days I hope to speak to the Somos Neighborhood Association for the purposes of outlining several courses of action to take, to address the legitimate community concerns and resolve the issue.<br>

      <![CDATA[I dont understand one thing.  I thought there was more than one Coffee X change in tucson. Isnt this a chain? Isn't there someone higher than Tehrani that you can complain to? Or are they all individually owned and managed stores?<br>
<br>
How are all the other 24 hour restaurants handling all these? There are mexican restaurants and other restaurants that are 24 hours, cars going in and out, have patios, people hanging out, etc.<br>
<br>
What is the city going to do to address these issues in the future? I mean tucson is expanding and some businesses are moving towards 24 hour service.<br>

      <![CDATA["there are also areas of Tucson where the Tucson Police Department has explicitly asked the UAPD to help out, due to stressed TPD resources." TPD needs help from UAPD at the construction zone at the intersection of E. Grant Rd and N. Craycroft Rd. where eastbound and westbound vehicles make dozens of illegal right turns onto N. Craycroft every hour ignoring the no right turn signs for Grant Rd. traffic.

      <![CDATA[For years I lived next to the nightclub he owns on East Speedway. It was awful. The city councilwoman called meetings and wrote letters to no avail. Tehrani yelled at me, called me filthy names. I tolerated all kinds of havoc from the club, from gang fights, gun fire, drugs, people parking up and down my street. The base on the music pierced my head and ultimately damaged my eardrum. Finally, one night TPD monitored the base on the music and immediately declared the base too high and also butted head with him, but prevailed. That was a blessing, for I had tried pillows on my head, sleeping in the floor, but base travels in a straight line and came right on through.  [Let me state, it was affecting other neighbors, also, as it was me.] We got permit parking signs on the street so TPD could ticket the vehicles. That worked for the vehicles. Businesses next door had trouble with trash on their property and vehicles entering the club behind their businesses and knocking down the block wall that had been put up to keep the cars from their parking lot. It was one big mess. I even pursued the owner of the building, and that was useless. Finally, it started getting better. Don't know what happened, unless some of the crime issues caused a slowdown. It was a terrible. You have my blessings with the coffee shop, and be thankful you do not live near a nightclub. I miss my home; finally moved.

      <![CDATA[Thanks for a great article!  This is my third year as a Wrimo, and I love this program.  In 2007 I didn't hear about till mid-month, so I finished my novel in two weeks.  I don't remember when I finished last year, but this year I finished in about two-and-a-half weeks.  I use NaNoWriMo to pace myself, making sure other work is caught up and I've got a plot pretty well outlined by November.  My husband cooks Thanksgiving dinner, and eating is my reward for writing 50,000+ words, and maybe even getting started on the editing process.  (March is NaNoEdMo, by the way.)<br>

      <![CDATA[Thanks to Irene Mussina for the article and to Alison Davison for sitting for it.  The Southern Arizona Gender Alliance (SAGA), associated with Wingspan, is one of the premiere groups of its kind in the country.  Alison is a good leader for an outfit that serves as a resource to the rest of the country.  She is also a role model for playing the cards you got with intelligence, strength, and humor.  Kudos to SAGA for its work.

      <![CDATA[Customer service needs improvement both at the box office and concession stand.  The supervisor of the concession stand was too busy sitting on the counters eating Cheetos and talking to an underling that was cleaning the popping machine to actually help someone in line.  She doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that she has a job, where as those that were working in the area seem to have appreciated my recognizing the fact they were doing all of the work.  For the price of a ticket you would think that they would be more appreciative of your business and retaining it for future shows.  I'll likely drive out of my way before returning.  (Thursday night ticket seller - Common courtesy, please and thank you would be a start.)  The theaters themselves are well maintained, but the bathrooms could use more than a quick cleaning.

      <![CDATA[This most excellent article written by community activist Vicki Hart (yes, Ms. Hart. Your excellent services as a member and leader of the Police Advisory Review Board and the article you wrote several years ago about the infamous “Dr. of Depravity” Michael Mahl elevate you to a respected public stature) reveals the (sometime) conflict between local business owners and the residential community.<br>
<br>
This issue can be brought to satisfactory resolution should a few members of the offended neighborhood choose to take a few confrontational and lawful steps protected by the First Amendment. (Neighborhood zoning, the failure of local political leaders to solve the problem, and the “Elect Ben Buehler-Garcia, 4 local businesses” sign do elevate this to a “political issue” for which all constitutional protections will attach.)<br>
<br>
Nearly ten years ago I faced the same kind of problem with a local psychologist named Peter Schur who, within the context of providing “family counseling services” engaged in outrageous conduct with my minor daughter. By the time I finished busting Dr. Schur’s chops, he was in disgrace, bankrupt, and out of state. <br>
<br>
The fact that Tehrani is represented by Republican Gubernatorial hopeful John Munger means simply this: pressure him and he will back down sooner, not later as Munger will not want a public and embarrassing confrontation.<br>
<br>
Contact me and I will show you how to (lawfully and publically) put some “muscle” into a protest and economic pressure on Tehrani, to the extent he will soon be grateful to seek your apology and modify his hours of operation.<br>

      <![CDATA[We attended the meeting at Marana and found the City Council to act as though they were interested in the publics' opinions.  Then, boom, the bomb drops as soon as the election is over and our public easement is obliterated by this same council???<br>
<br>
What happened to by the people of the people and FOR the people????<br>
<br>
This is a no brainer....as our elected officials, they had the duty to represent the public and protect our easement, but instead, chose to help a developer to further the towns image to go along with the Ritz Carlton and be an "elitist" community.  How sad, too bad, that even the residents of Marana, whom we are, cannot get representation in our own town!  <br>

      <![CDATA[Too bad the Tucson Weekly didn't inform their readers prior to the event that a handfull of sixties hippie burnouts were holding a ceremony for the late Alan Ward yesterday. I would have enjoyed attending.<br>
<br>
Alan Ward did not conduct a weekly "Farmer's Market" at the Joel Valdez Library as you report. The several merchants mostly sold hippie jewelry and new age gee-gaws; occassionally someone might have had a hand full of apples (obtained at a local Supermarket) for sale. To call it a "Farmer's Market" is to discredit the dozens of legitimate Farmer's Markets which are a credit to our various communities and serve Tucson well             <br>
<br>
The Weekly has attempted to portray Ward as some sort of a "Popular Hero" for standing up to the "Notorious Mexican Flag Burner." A review of his court records, however, and the rambling testimony he offered at at his several trials,  revealed him to be no more than an intellectual lightweight and drug burn out, more than eager to support the left wing party line and the continued Republican economic exploitation of Mexican Illegals and the death of hundreds of unfortunate souls in our desert every year.<br>
<br>
Guess what Weekly? You are pleased to think of yourselves as an "Alternative" or "Counter Culture" publication. However; to the extent you present only left wing establishment opinion you are hopelessly "Mainstream." <br>
<br>
Warden, the Notorious Mexican Flag Burner<br>

      <![CDATA[I love this column.  The author is an astonishingly good writer and clearly well read and well educated.<br>
<br>
About the first letter:  some of us women cut our hair at a certain age because we look stupid with long hair.  Moreover, if our hair is in good shape, guys mistake us for younger women and when we turn around, we scare them.  As for color, after a certain age, dying your hair black makes you look like a vampire.<br>
<br>
As to the second letter: my dear departed father used to say "Never argue with an idiot.<br>
