Is there no end to the stupidy of this city?
Tidings reports tonight that, after 10 years in business, a bunch of “whiners” (including a city councilor) are complaining that the Ashland Roasting Company, a small coffee house in a residential neighborhood, is doing too much business and is causing too much traffic.
This location has had a commercial use for many, many years as it was previously a small neighborhood grocery store.
I venture a guess that every one of these whiners knew of the commercial nature of this location at the time they moved in.
But, in keeping with the finest anti-business tradition in Ashland, they are now trying to drive them out of business.
Hey, I’ve got a message for you. Ashland is rapidly changing and it ain’t for the better!
First the city condemns favorite local hang-out, the Blue Mountain Cafe, to build a new fire station.
McDonalds says adios and becomes a bank (they wanted the drive-thru window which are strictly limited in car-unfriendly Ashland). Then the kids face losing another local hang-out, as DQ sells out to another bank for theirr drive-thru window.
Two elementary schools are closed and on and on.
This town has become very unfriendly to kids and their families.
Seems the only people welcome in Ashland are blue-haired touristas with jack in their wallets.
All others need not apply.
