My town’s city council is only serving the interests of older generations and elderly folk.
The noise ordinances make it impossible for any musicians to perform live music in this area, which was an immense disappointment for myself and others as soon as I arrived with my wife when we moved in from out of state.
On top of that, all of the fast food pizzerias are located next to the interstate exit away from the residential neighborhoods. If you want to get a tasty bag of Wendy’s or McDonalds, you’ll have to take a 10 minute drive in each direction on the way. But this isn’t even the worst section about living in this old folks’ town. It’s even worse knowing that we nearly didn’t have cannabis dispensaries in the first locale because the city council tried to prevent them all from entering. When that measure failed, they imposed silly rules on the 3 dispensaries that operate within the city limits. Two of those rules involve when the dispensaries are allowed to be open. They’re all barred from doing sales on Thursdays, and all cannabis dispensaries must close by 7pm regardless of which night of the month it is. In the rest of the state, some cannabis stores are open as late as 9pm or 10pm if you happen to live in a dense metropolitan city. I don’t get it; if I drive 10 minutes into a neighboring city I can shop at a cannabis store well into the night, however I can’t shop this late at the one down the road from my house? If this was a dry city as far as alcohol is upset I would understand these rules, however they’re simply being inconsistent.
