Support for New Del Ray Restaurant
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
I write to
express strong support for the special use permit before the Council
permitting the proposed, much-needed, smart growth Pork Barrel BBQ
restaurant on Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray. As a young professional and

after a long weekend, or to enjoy some time with friends. During these
less than stellar economic times, we need to encourage smart growth and
