The parking lot belongs with the old Shed building. They were asked if they'd like to rent the parking lot between the buildings, but declined. For liability purposes, it was effectively "closed."
Edit: Now that I think about it, I think the story was they were asked to pay for the snow removal, and responded with "it's not our lot."

I don't doubt this in the least. It's sad that local business/property owners cannot find a way to work together. It shouldn't be THAT difficult. If Pizza Pub wants to lease those parking spaces, but NOT pay for snow removal, then the lease price should go up accordingly. If they ARE willing to foot the bill for snow removal, etc, then they should get a lower lease deal.
Either way EVERYBODY wins. Right now Pizza Pub is losing out by not having their own parking (although I really don't see the big deal at all about the city lot out back, I just think some people don't know about it). And the owner of the old Shed building is missing a revenue stream; they're bringing in $0 from that place right now.
Personally, I've often thought that would be a good location for a small BBQ joint/bar, but the building might just be cursed looking at its history.
