I think you should put this incident in with all of the others
of the same ilk that have happened around here over the past
15 years.  If you drive the lesser roads in NJ, you will often
see these hot dog stands at various places along the road.  Now,
what happens is that some jerk-off of a diner, resturant, or eatery
owner decides that the person selling the hot dogs is hurting his
business.  What does he do?  Off to the local government to get the
hotdogger sent on his way.  Since the complainer is probably paying
a healthy tax on his property, who do the locals back?  You guessed it.

Lately, however, it has been getting tougher and tougher for these
greeedheads to move the offending entreprenuer.  In this latest
flap, it seems the local beanery operator has hit on a new idea
to get rid of the competition.  Traffic hazard indeed!  I hope
the lady in question wins this one as I still beleive in free
enterprize.  

The real question on this news item is one of who can sell food
where.  The issue of being too sexy is a smoke screen to accomplish
the the real question.  If the lady were to move on tommorrow, and
some big hairy pug-ugly guy take her place, the slop joint owner
would find some other excuse to get him moved (Too ugly, stops
traffic).  I can remember at least ten or twelve of these cases
in the past few years.
