Georgia Town Buys Strip Club, Closes It

July 31st, 2008

City Manager: “We Bought It To Get Rid Of It, Bottom Line”

The town of Lavonia shelled out nearly $1 million to buy and shut down Cafe Risque, a strip club along Interstate 85.

“We bought it to get rid of it, bottom line,” city manager Gary Fesperman told CBS 46 Thursday afternoon.After the purchase, which Fesperman said was finalized Tuesday morning, the city burned the interstate signs advertising the club, which was popular with truckers.”What was such a blight was those billboards,” said Fesperman. “Those billboards did more damage to the community than the club did.”

Now: I don’t approve of the Entice debacle here in Floyd County, but why the hell dosent the Floyd County Commission write Craton and his buddy a check for the “Entice Adult Superstore” and shut it down. Surely this approach would be cheaper than this ill advised legal battle that our “Gary Fricks loving” commission has gotten the tax payers of Floyd County into… Way to go City of Lavonia, GA!

Voters to decide on naming sewage plant for Bush

July 18th, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) — A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush’s years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Supporters say the idea is to commemorate the mess they claim Bush has left behind by actions such as the war in Iraq.

This is funny to me… Maybe the people of Rome and Floyd County can rename our WWTP in honor or Commissioner Garry Fricks?
