This is not a Taco Bell advertisement.

Here's a quick one for the zoning wonks and downtown preservationists.

Earlier this evening, I was speaking with a businessman who is about to establish operations in a downtown building. He showed me a mock-up of the building's facade (it is a relatively modern structure) that had been "photo-shopped" into being painted black. He noted that while the other embellishments and decor were likely a go, the color black would have to be changed because it is not allowed.

It's refreshing to hear someone acknowledge a rule and not rush out to hire Crafty John Kraft in a bid to overturn it, but at the same time, I'm wondering if there is such a rule.

Is black really verboten?

If so, what do we do if Al Davis moves the Raiders to New Albany and occupies the Elsby Building?
