To the Avalon Spouter who would take more parking over a hotel. If you owned a business in Avalon or have conversed with its business owners, you would learn that the business community needs the turn-over from a European-style hotel anywhere in the downtown area. The impact of overnight stays that The Reeds has had on the SH business community activity is enviable. So, it's not parking vs. hotel but rather having a viable vibrant healthy business community without that activity parking is a moot issue.
