@ A Skeptic = The two I mentioned never had any Signage except for the flashing Open Sign.
@David. Sorry to hear Tally has got them too. Oh it makes me so mad. Two are within a mile of my house. They murdered someone at one last montyh. Its freaking insane. Like Capone’s Chicago or some such!!
@commonsense. I’m 63. I am a registered Medical Marijuana user for chronic pain following a back injury that almost paralyzed me. Sad to say if kids are using those places to get high…then they are sadly mistaken. It ain’t street weed. Its pretty mild depending on what your doctor prescribed for your condition. Now I’m lucky. If they give you the strong stuff…it means you gots health troubles like Parkinson’s or some such. In short- the recreational value of Medical Marijuana is not worth the dues you pay to get it.
@ commonsense Psst… The authorities are in on it, keep it on the qt.
It’s not as common as you think it is, is it?
While the city, county or state are at it, they may want to also look into activity at the so-called “medical marijuana dispensaries.”
Does anyone else ever notice the rather significant number of sick “patients” in the age range of about 18 to 35 who frequent these establishments? By comparison, I can’t say I’ve seen many elderly (cancer, arthritis) or military Veteran-age (PTSD) people going in and out.
Could some form of nefarious activity also be going on here? Might be worth investigating.
@David — The Internet Cafe on the Parkway used to be overt about its existence and what it was. I hadn’t seen any signage in quite a while and had no idea that it was still going!
@ The Spider = The Internet Cafe enforcement around here is a Joke. About 4 Months ago, they shut down TWO of them. One on Appalachee Parkway across from the National Cemetery and just 4 Days later it is up and running with out skipping a beat. Same with the one in Woodville at the corner of Woodville Hwy and Oak Ridge Rd. except it took about 8 Days to reopen.
You all ain’t covering the amazing raids on illegal internet cafes up in Havana? They had a murder last month at one. The Florida Gaming Commission raided it yesterday and it had millions of dollars worth of slot machines in there. There are least 6 more to shut down in Gadsden County! Y’all need to watch WTXL on YouTube! And then cover the story!!!
The President needs to make Bermuda a US State, bring all the People to the US Mainland and turn the Island into a Huge Park-Tourist Site only, Camping only, 5 Days Max. Bermuda got pounded bad this Year with several Hurricanes.
