When you can't open one business, try another

From Colorado's CW2 News comes this story of a small-town businessman and his plans:

Denied ATV shop permit, businessman takes new tack
Announces a porn shop named after one of his biggest opponents

People in the small mountain town of Allenspark are drawing up the battle lines.

The controversy began when Jeff Mead wanted to open an ATV rental store there.

But nearby neighbors complained about the noise and enviromental impact.

Margie Patterson says Mead's clients have damaged pristine private land, a claim Mead dismisses.

The Boulder County Planning Commission recently denied the businessman a special-use permit to open his business.

So Mead put out a banner on his building which reads,"Patterson's XXX Porn Gallery".

Heh -- and there really isn't anything that Marge Patterson can do about it. Kudos to Mead for his sense of humor...
