Xclus...It's a voluntary agreement...voluntary. Xclusive does not have to enter into its terms - which seem to be a bit burdensome for many of the businesses we hope to see succeed. As a new business owner, once you open yourself up to the terms of these VA's you lose b/c you have no negotiating power. Perhaps Xclusive has smartened up by refusing to play. It may lose this gamble if the community can coalesce to prevent its operation. But it may also win and break the communities hold on obligatory yet voluntary agreements for future business owners. <br /><br />Personally, I bought a block of H so i wouldn't have to worry about such annoyances...but if you didn't make that same calculation, well...good luck. Just like Xclusive, you also gambled the enjoyment of your investment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024376322107037421.post-31601527850781740722012-02-29T13:02:30.541-05:002012-02-29T13:02:30.541-05:00My friend lives on 4th between H and I, and you ca...My friend lives on 4th between H and I, and you can hear the crowd after midnight coming from the top floor of Trueorleans. We don't need to replicate that to be "fair". What about people who live very close to these establishments? A VA is a good half way solution and a fair one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024376322107037421.post-11566056533199157872012-02-29T12:47:51.870-05:002012-02-29T12:47:51.870-05:00Great post 9:29.

Every other bar/restaurant in that area has agreed to a VA -- Xclusive is the only one that flat out refused to even consider a VA. <br /><br />They're advertised business plan calls for live music till 3 AM. Despite your assertion to the contrary, I live three blocks down from H St. and I can guarantee you that you can hear music coming from those places. Imagine how it feels for those people who live closer, or even right off of H St. Its not Nimbyism to expect to be able to sleep at night in your own home. <br /><br />No one is singling out Xclusive. They are doing a fine job doing that all by themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024376322107037421.post-42824103846005802822012-02-29T12:29:56.648-05:002012-02-29T12:29:56.648-05:00Why are you singling out Xclusive?
