Then, parents could go bowling while the kids go skating. If I had that kind of money that is what I'd do...

Or you can listen to some, who seem to be having a ball spending your money and think it would be groovy for you to receive "Karma" in return for your investment instead of monetary profit, food for thought indeed.

The ordinance also stipulates within 600 feet of a school for good reason. It doesn't take much research with the Center for Disease Control to understand the effects of alcohol and our youth and that 11% of the nation's alcohol consumption is by underage drinkers. One method of prevention according to the CDC is to reduce alcohol exposure. There are plenty of vacant lots available in Century and surrounding areas in which the gentleman is free to exercise his right to open a business establishment. But, please, allow our schools and churches to educate our youth and to invest in their future by keeping these buffer zones in place. Hats off to the Town Council.

Of which they do exist and the town council won't be able to block. Even if some parishioners have to walk 601 feet.
