So apparently the location in J-town across from Stoney Brook isn't in J-town?

West side of Hurstbourne? Probably it's not. That takes me back a way, too, as I was covering local government during the period when J'town Mayor Frank Chambers annexed most of the unincorporated property around the city with the idea of adding future commercial development to its tax base. Damn good idea, from the city's standpoint; from that of the commercial tenants, maybe not so much.

But your issue is with the people who wrote the news release. Me, I'm all about the Derby tickets.

It is in J-Town, just barely. There's sort of a bulge in the line that incorporates that area.

Well, I'll be darned. Thanks, Jeff. That must have been one of J'town's last annexations before a pre-merger moratorium on small-city annexations went into effect.

Qdoba's PR folks tell me, for the record, that the derby seats are in Section 128, Grandstand.
