Bethlehem Township's Newest Business


School's out. Summer's here. So what do kids do on those long hot afternoons? Most of them are in the nearest pool, but a group of Bethlehem Township Bulldogs were busily operating a lemonade stand June 23 along Easton Avenue, just a stone's throw from the municipal building.

Without a permit. Municipal officials let it slide.

Fifty cents a glass. As of 2:30 PM, they had raked in $7.10. These young entrepreneurs are Tucker Messinger, Aidan Albus, Chaise Albus, Preston Mestrick, Michael Carbmasa, Cooper Bodero-Lomicky and Ben Gagnon.

    If this was in the city of Bethlehem, they'd need a right of way permit, a health code permit, a historical preservation permit, a business license and would have to pay a business privilege tax.

    It's only good if they stir the drink with their arm.

    Just kidding.

    While Jon is right on the button with Bethlehem, if these kids set up shop in other townships in the LV, it would be minutes, not hours, before a "concerned" resident NARCed and would call the municipal office, complaining about loitering, kids, noise, lowering of property values, traffic safety, and tie in West Nile virus. Somehow.

    Usually unless a citizen complains, the municipality is not the bad guy, it is usually some busybody from some homeowners association that stirs the waters. This neighborhood must not have a homeowners associaton. Hopefully, this blog won't cause the end of it!
    Most municipalities are generally clueless about what is going on in their area until it is brought to their attention.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
