World financial markets responded with euphoria, and the financial Kool-Aid was passed around greedily as a result. After the ECB’s announcement, the S&P rose to its highest level in four years.In other news, in a gracious speech before the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, Barack Hussein Obama accepted his party’s nomination for a second term as President of the United States.

All of this aside - the location ISBR has chosen is entirely inappropriate. To wedge such a facility between 2 homes on a 2 lane road is outrageous. So, ask yourself why. And, look up "Victory Mosque." (The LC Firehouse's 9/11 memorial is directly across the street - why do you think those firefighters sit in the front row of the PB meetings - they're not for the mosque, that's for sure.)
