A battle is raging again over a historical Fresno business.
The service station on Van Ness Ave. in Old Fig Garden has been around since the 1920’s but it could soon be forced to shut down.
A meeting of the city planning commission will meet Wednesday night to decide if the gas station should close.
Neighbor’s complaints led to the station’s permit being revoked last month.
But the owner and his supporters are ready to fight that decision.

The business has been there since the 20's why do home owners have the right to close him down. Have they been there since the 20's if not why did they buy there if they did not like the business being there. Move.

Your reporter told me they had found plenty of neighbors who were fine with the station, and wondered where to find one of the few who are not. Yet your story does not in any way reflect that many neighbors- not just other people- support the station's presence and do business there. This is very biased reporting.
