Westmont Development Group LLC — a group headed by Joanna Pang, who also runs the Trocadero in Philadelphia — plans to turn the vacant Westmont Theater into a live music venue.

However, the property can support only 86 parking spaces, Jennings said.

“That’s not nearly enough to support that size a theater,” he added.

[...]Resident Marian Bobyak questioned the need for a municipal parking lot.

“What businesses are having such a horrible time with parking other than Joanna Pang and her theater?” Bobyak asked. “This is really looking like this is all about the theater, not about what’s good for the town. It’s about what’s good for Joanna Pang and her theater.”

I wish we had some tape of this. I just wanna hear this guy say “Joanna Pang and HER THEATER” in that snivelling tone a few more times. It’d be like Footloose meets one of those talking Mr. T keychains.
