Anyone know what is going on with the Hakim/Arbys building? Looks like exterior is beginning to be painted now.

it can be a Marijuana or vaping spot. The city really needs to say NO to these types of establishments.

Why?

Why should they say no to them? They really aren't hurting anyone and it's a safer and more controlled way for those who use said products to get them. I doubt its hurting you in any way so I'm confused by you saying this.

Every single citizen, you say.

Does a street benefit the citizen who cannot drive?
Does a sidewalk benefit the citizen who cannot walk?

Every street benefits everyone, even if you cannot drive
Every sidewalk benefits everyone, even if they cannot walk.

LCs &;amp&;#59; Vendors
Sep 1 at 2:05 PM

Where's the same vitriol for the LCs and Beer Vendors. Heck, all the restaurants and even the Keystone Center should also get some hate for selling something that is known to ruin lives and kill people.

Only thing cannabis ever killed was a large pizza.

Any business
Sep 2 at 6:47 AM

Any business benefits the residents of Brandon as they all provide jobs, which in turn those people that own and work at those stores spend their money at other various establishments, pay taxes, rent, etc. Just because you personally don’t patronize “those” establishments doesn’t mean that somewhere down the line you aren’t benefitting in one way or another from them just being there. I am sure there are lots of business’ in Brandon that you have never entered their doorway or spent a dime at, pointing fingers at “those” shops just shows how narrow minded you are because in your mind you think they are somehow “bad”.
