Hanks customers are continuously blocking the sidewalk, being loud and obnoxious and causing issues. Not to mention drinking on the sidewalk after ordering alcohol at the bar. While i generally agree with the outdoor seating in the district i think “Hanks” may have stepped crossed the line .

I’m sorry, but if these are “Long Term Residents” then this could very likely be anti-gay sentiment. This area used to be horrible and the people who lived there know it. These businesses have turned this area into a safe and wonderful neighborhood. Fighting against that is ridiculous.

I’ve lived in DC for 8 years and have watched 17th Street evolve. Of all places, Hanks has been one of most admirable additions. Hanks is a restaurant and not a bar or nightclub with pulsating music and late night crowds. These neighbors are ridiculous. I’d take a good restaurant neighbor anytime.

Entities have rights the same as citizen’s do. Have they been violated?
