Default Applebee's might be DEAD!!

I was just talking to one of my partners from work who works part-time at Tinley PD and he said the guy who holds the permit to have the Carshow there on Fridays wants his permit pulled because it has gotten too big and too many cars and he can't manage them anymore!

This SUcks if its true!

Why would he want his OWN permit pulled? Just manage the same lot and show you have going on. Why would he be responsible for anyone else besides his lot/show? That's lame if he is ... it's a public thing so he shouldn't be for anyone else besides who's in the actual show. And besides, if the people that aren't even in the show just congregate and don't do stupid ****, they should be fine anyways. How ******* lame if you ask me...

They have a lot right across from the building. I think it's a pretty good size lot, but it is on the smaller side. It'd be a nice little turn out if a grip of people would go.
