Every dangerous year at about the same time, we are all about how Lemonade stand Run by kids trying to make money, or in some cases trying to help their compatriots were shut down, thanks to “Karens” or local officials who happened to drive by and noticed their complaints.
I can’t think of an instance of a story about this that I’ve read. I was like “Yes, they were completely right to close this thing.” In this country, very few people are not in the lemonade stand. I drove up and thought of how cute it is to see enterprising young people earning pocket money by serving their neighbors some delicious cold sweet lemon-flavored drinks on the street. Hot summer day. As long as children are supervised by adults (and have plenty of supplies on hand!), there is nothing wrong with them being allowed to do so.
What is particularly irritating in many of these situations is that cities should generally deal with more pressing issues rather than doing harmless things against children.
All this reminds me of a recent example of a child being punished for opening a lemonade stand. According to a local resident in a community in Everett, Washington, a neighbor reported to the city’s parks and recreation department a 7-year-old girl operated a stall in a nearby park. Soon after, a park ranger showed up and politely informed the girl’s grandmother that the stand must leave.
news media King 5 According to the report, it is understandable that other neighbors are upset about the city’s behavior, especially considering that there is a homeless camp nearby. A young girl’s lemonade stand still has more:
In recent months, Everett has enacted a “Sit No Lie” ordinance on a section of Smith Avenue, prohibiting people from sitting or lying down within 10 blocks. As a result, in recent months due to homelessness The reaction was criticized.
The decree replaced a large homeless camp, forcing many residents to set up different camps elsewhere in the city. Advocates for the homeless believe that the city’s response measures are not adequate and residents do not have adequate access to permanent housing.

Neighbors reported that they called the police several times at Rucker Hill Park camp, but with little success.
The owner of the lemonade stand Elsa LaMaine and her grandmother Cherie are being interviewed about what happened. When a homeless person walked out of the woods completely naked, people offered a better view of the absurdity of the situation. As the camera turned, grandmother called 911. Watch:
What’s new: A park ranger closed the lemonade stand of a 7-year-old girl near Seattle.
However, the city refused to clean up a nearby homeless camp that neighbors had been complaining about.
In fact, while dismantling the stands… a naked tramp came over. https://t.co/hEBiIpzrrD

What’s even more annoying about this story is that this little girl puts out a $1 lemonade stand every year (except last year’s, which must be put off Due to the pandemic), she usually donates part of her profits to… the local homeless shelter.
Not surprisingly, there is no one in this city Responded Interview requests from local and national news media are probably because of “priorities” or something.
