Dear Commissioner Regalado:
As usual, you continue to rise to my expectations with your prompt and helpful response. They help  the Grove First continue to afirm our belief that there is no compromising with Home Depot.  As I said in my letter regarding PAB, if they want to impress the Grove with fancy store layouts, let them start by cleaning up Home Depot on 8th Street.

Regards,
Liliana Dones

Dear Ms. Doner,

I read your e-mail regarding the PAB meeting and Home   Depot’s position on their SW 8th Street store in the area that I represent.   Recently, Home Depot representatives attempted (through the administration) to   meet with me to show me the plans for the landscaping and other enhancements   at SW 8th Street store.

I rejected the meeting, and responded to Home Depot that I   feel offended that now because they have a problem in the Grove they have   decided to do something about the SW 8th Street store. No matter if it is lite   or state of the art, a Home Depot is a Home Depot is a Home Depot. I still   don’t understand how they can insult our intelligence and think they are going   to get away with it.

Sincerely,

Tomas Regalado
