Believe it or not, I didn't even read the Washington Times article.
An interesting question... since the business itself isn't affiliated with the government, how can they shut the business? Normally, when you're leasing someone something, you are lending them the rights to that thing, regardless of what conditions may arise later on. I think this closure is bogus, and may not be in line with the terms.
Damned if I know. I don't have a copy of the lease. Some of the articles did mention that the NPS told O'Connell he was in violation of it but we already covered that.
Look, again I'm not here to pass judgment on the NPS or the business owner. I'm not qualified to do that. I'm here to pass judgment on the Moonie Times.
