You can see it in the cityscape. <br /><br />The politics are ugly and weird. The core issues are too complicated and difficult to address, so people always get into these horrible fights about meaningless things like shutting down headshops. <br /><br />Beautiful place, amazing potential, but Corpus is trapped in a downward spiral right now.el_longhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726492234859814230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-2810824483939359432011-04-01T19:50:21.743-05:002011-04-01T19:50:21.743-05:00i lived in lbk for like 6 years (college). i think...i lived in lbk for like 6 years (college). i think they are fairly unharassed. they even opened a really nice new hookah lounge when i lived there. it is still definitely conservative! i heard more commotion about people trying to shut down the businesses that sold adult toys than head shops though.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599245952941986016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-91500889909136009202011-03-30T14:40:42.998-05:002011-03-30T14:40:42.998-05:00Since when was it legal to shut down a business ru...Since when was it legal to shut down a business running a legal enterprise?

I guess if they ban something and a person or business doesn’t co-operate then the city can write a citation and levy fines as they do with sign and food ordinances and then if the citation is ignored they can then file a class c misdemeanor criminal charge.<br /><br /><br />I would like to ban people from wearing their pants below their buttocks. <br /><br /><br />I would also like to ban bad hair.<br /><br /><br />Would it be possible then I guess, if I were a city official to try and get an ordinance passed to ban my neighbor from allowing their children to play in the back yard because they are annoying little brats.<br /><br /> <br />Just think it might be possible to ban my ex-wife from continually trying to tell me what to do. I truly believe that if I recorded her, everyone would agree that it’s just not necessary for her to ever speak again.<br /><br />What do I need to do first to get one of these city council positions?titfortatnoreply@blogger.com
