 (JFS) Now this is a great way to lower your overhead, occupy prime commercial space and acquire a captivated audience all rolled into one!

This is a great business plan; optional Business License, Health Permit, no high monthly rent for a storefront and no fooling around with sales taxes.
Some folks think that he adds color to the town while other folks conjure up darker images in their minds as they wait to get by the “Bottleneck Cigar Stop”.

It sure will be nice when they widen our main road so we can accommodate more street venders like this guy. Which begs the question; if we had bigger/better roads and sufficient parking spaces available, will anything change when things like this are tolerated?
