How is Joe going to be allowed to have a pro shop, etc on public property?? Also, what about liability insurance in case one of those kids gets hurt? Open 24/7? Sounds like a great place to sell drugs.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287257541009858625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-9897773480705175792008-04-01T07:34:00.000-04:002008-04-01T07:34:00.000-04:00Lets see; there was the bigger and better zoo, the...Lets see; there was the bigger and better zoo, the ice cream shop, the restaurant, and that empty building down town....<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't hold my breath.o w granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657365025890914350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-52493034381616294192008-04-01T06:42:00.000-04:002008-04-01T06:42:00.000-04:00It will never happen.It will never happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404083075239659226.post-45734923826397093752008-03-31T20:17:00.000-04:002008-03-31T20:17:00.000-04:00Big Mouth's "offer" was just a ploy to get some co...Big Mouth's <I>"offer"</I> was just a ploy to get some comments (code word for "hits") on his blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
