 Around two dozen protesters gathered outside of Loveland's municipal building prior to Tuesday's City Council meeting to protest proposed amendments to a joint zoning document by McWhinney Real Estate Services and the city. The protesters chanted and marched around the building, holding signs. Many then went inside to attend the meeting, which went late into the
night with no decision made on the amendments. (Jocelyn Rowley / Loveland Reporter-Herald.)
