Hi Everyone, It is with a relieved heart and a happy soul I am writing to let you know that the Richardson City Council had their vote yesterday approving my application for a special permit for a smoking establishment for Another Time & Place Grille with a 6 to 1 vote in favor of the application. I could not have done this without your continuous support and trust in me. Whether you send a letter of support to the city of Richardson, signed a petition, advocated for my business in the communities of Richardson, defended me on social media, came in person to speak in favor of my application to P&Z or city council meeting, or simply kept me in your prayers, it made a difference and brought us to victory. I am forever grateful. Although the approval was not for my original concept, it gave me strength and confirmed my commitment to delivering on my promise of bringing a high-end family-friendly authentic food restaurant to the residents of Richardson and neighboring communities. From the bottom of my heart – thank you! Mehmet Shon Celik
