What’s it going to take for Pin-Ups to go away?
Good Growth Dekalb to the rescue
They’re too busy occupying intersections and parking their cars along both sides of neighborhood streets, thus creating traffic problems to encourage people to care about Wal-Mart creating…..traffic problems.
Easier to hate on Wal-Mart than Pin-Ups, I guess.
(Yes, the 1st paragraph actually happened yesterday late afternoon in Medlock Park’s Willivee and Desmond intersection. One of the “Good Growth” protestors was almost blocking the intersection with their sign and body and their cars were all parked near the intersection on both sides of the same street, forcing 1-way traffic. I felt like I was being protested for daring to drive home on Willivee.)
Personally, I’ll be glad when they run out of money so the robo-calls will stop.
Didn’t guite get what he expected when ordering that lap dance and a shot.
+1. I lol’ed.

Ever watch the show “Burn Notice”? It would probably take something like what often happens in one of their episodes.
The question: When does something good happen in a strip club parking lot @ 3:00 a.m.? And the answer is…never.
I concur. But only because you qualified your statement with “parking lot”.
Unfortunately I can’t share the story that proves that false…that was a different time…
….and a different parking lot.
Um, isn’t that a picture of Birmingham AL?
