All of the City Council news from this past Thursday seemed to be about that gender neutral rest room ordinance, but they were scheduled to vote on the Aloft hotel as well. Did anyone hear how that went?
EDIT: After doing some research I answered my own question. It was approved on the first reading with the next vote scheduled for 09/25.
