More on the changing face of STJ:

Well, that sucks! How is this guy bothering anyone or making trouble for the PA? He's been there a long time, and it sound like he helps with cleanup, and brings a little personality to that area. I think that they should give him a good reason why he has to go...Anybody got a spot where he can set up in the area and continue a tradition?
It deeply saddens me to see Patrick's West Indian Delight leave the Cruz Bay
parking lot! The face of St. John is changing so fast and furious that it will soon turn into what all MOST everyone left the mainland to find. When the changes are all complete and no one even the belongers cannot tell if they are in small town USA or St. John will that be the end of change?
I suppose it's all in your point of view. A quote from the article:
“It’s an eyesore in my estimation,” said Darlan Brin, VIPA’s executive director. (referring to Patrick's cheery truck/stand)
I like the sight of Patrick's truck. What I find to be eyesores are the concrete condo and villa monstrosites with which developers are defacing the island.
It is my understanding that in a round about way (that happens often enough in the VI) there is a connection between the missing parking spaces for the new building located by the Cruz Bay Dock on private property and the parking spaces that Patrick's stand is takeing up on VIPA property. That new building just got is occupancy permit....and just where are those parking spaces located for the new building?
Besides the VIPA evicting Patrick's West Indian Delights, the The VI goverment is evicting Shela Liburd of Shela's Pot located in the Cruz Bay Park. Now if the government is on a roll....maybe they can evict the not so homeless living on the cruz bay beach next to the Battery and do something with the mentally ill wandering cruz bay. Guess there is no money to be made from that.
Do you mean: Lindy, Luna, Greenie, Katrina??? I have been going there so long, that they are all just a part of the sites now, BUT I would imagine the cruise ship folk from St.Thomas are a bit taken back. St. John is really changing, isn't it? Even Coral Bay on a Friday night is busy and challenging to find a parking spot.
