Got Beer? Apparently Not...

 

We regularly receive complaints about business favoritism in Muscle Shoals. Here's an interesting one from our own J. Redmon:

Why can the Jalopeno Grill on Avalon in Muscle Shoals serve beer outside, but The Pie Factory in Muscle Shoals can't?

Any of our readers have a clue? Anyone up to channeling Alvin Holmes?

How many of you think you can make a lucid point in 60 seconds? Years ago, the Florence City Council allowed unlimited comments from the public. We can see how this wasn't practical. For some time, comments were limited to three minutes. That seems reasonable. Now it's one minute.

We have an idea: Write out the comment, edit to the bone, produce an audio recording, then use Audacity software to ensure the comment's run time isn't overly long. If you become extremely proficient in audio technique, insert a subliminal message insulting the councilperson of your choice...or the mayor...preferably the mayor.
