No shit, what does she expect? People protesting lingerie? Like romance between consenting adults is ‘dirty’. Give me a break!

I still remember when he put a giant banner on the side of his Olivia’s store saying he endorsed Sandy Jerstad and Manny Steele to the statehouse, hilarious.

The video of Jerstead threatening to call the cops if they didn’t take the sign down was pure comedy gold. It even made Fark’s front page, thanks to yours truly.

CCF – She can complain all she wants about who goes next door, but she can’t stop them. All she can do is move to a new location when her lease is up.

I agree. She has a right to be pissed off about it. She also has a right to leave that POS strip mall. Hey, this is freaking America, if you don’t like something, do something about it, stop crying in your cookie dough about it.

My neighbor doesn’t get to tell me when to mow my lawn

Well to some degree he does. If you lawn gets to a height of eight inches all he has to do is call the city code inspector and have you cited for it.

I can understand Deb being upset, but frankly this is no different than if a bakery opened up next to her that sold cookies along with a lot of other things that directed customers away from “Cookies By Design”. She might not like it – but thats just the way things are. Unless she had an agreement from the landlord that only certain types of businesses would be allowed she can’t really do much about it other than wait for her lease to expire.

Sorry CC, but Deb’s argument is flawed. My neighbor doesn’t get to tell me when to mow my lawn, and Deb doesn’t have a right to tell her landlord who can move in next door to her, it’s called property rights and it is guaranteed by the US Constitution. If she doesn’t like, she can move.

Hopefully, some day the city will realize constitutional democracy is how they will be effective. They really need a good lawyer and not city employee fallout who’ve never tried a case. Meanwhile, the best way to recycle republicans is hurting them in their bank accounts because marxist politicians have steered them into socialism. For now, it’s only cookies and adult entertainment. If the city is ineffective and the state is looking the other way, it’s also a good time to sneak in real casinos like Larchwood.

Considering present incapacitated city government now would be a good time to open a nude club or female impersonators juice bar. If it were on Phillips, there would be the long sought entertainment downtown revival.

Sorry, if the leasor has no restrictions and the city has no clout it will happen. She’ll have to accept it. It could mean more business if she sells erotic shaped cookies and edible panties.

Gonna be perfectly honest with you L3wis and say that I absolutely, positively disagree with you on this. Why? Because what if you owned a shop like Cookies by Design, and you found out that your next door neighbor was going to be a store like this? Deb has a valid point.

I have met Mr. Eliason, he isn’t a seedy character, in fact he has quite the sense of humor. I still remember when he put a giant banner on the side of his Olivia’s store saying he endorsed Sandy Jerstad and Manny Steele to the statehouse, hilarious. I’m sure he loves the free advertising. I just think people who have an issue with lingerie and over the hill gag gifts have some serious issues. Besides, if a kid asks what it is, all you have to tell them is ‘fancy underwear’ and they probably wouldn’t think twice about it.
