Whenever folks in Penfield, New York get a hankering for pancakes for lunch – they head over to the 5 Mile Café.
The family-owned restaurant is known in those parts for serving breakfast any time of the day (order their homemade corned beef hash).
They are also known for their patriotism.
“We are very patriotic here at the café – all year round –not just this time of year,” owner Jennifer Aquino told me. “We have American flags and patriotic things around the café.”
So Jennifer decided to ask the town for a permit so she could post a “God Bless America” banner on the front of her restaurant. She wanted to display the banner from Memorial Day through Independence Day.
There was just one significant problem.

Have the businesses on EITHER SIDE OF THE RESTARANT used up THEIR 'allotment' yet??
You knew what they were when you bought the property.
(This is why I live out in the country.)
Go on GoogleEarth® and see that the restaurant can barely be SEEN from the road!
Note following example:
Two Jesuit novices both wanted a cigarette while they prayed.They decided to ask their superior for permission.The first asked, but was told no.A little while later he spotted his friend smoking and praying."Why did the superior allow you to smoke and not me?" he asked.
His friend replied, "Because you asked if you could smoke while you prayed, and I asked if I could pray while I smoked!"
“America needs to start a grass root campaign to replace all the local control freaks and work our way up the chain...”
Yes, but that would require so-called conservatives to get off their fat asses and attend city council meetings, county council meetings and schoolboard meetings.
That means less time for barbecues, building kitchen additions and worshiping Mammon.
Can it be done? Yes. Will it be done? I doubt it. Conservatives are talkers, not doers.
If you want something done, you seek out patriots and veterans.
Change the name of the restaurant.
The God Bless America café
formerly known as "5 Mile Café.
What have you been doing?
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
“Go on GoogleEarth® and see that the restaurant can barely be SEEN from the road!”
Doesn’t matter.
“What have you been doing?”
I was involved in local government for nearly 20 years. That included electing pro-2nd amendment sheriffs, throwing leftist politicians and bureaucrats in state prison, investigating and firing local police chiefs and tossing out leftist state legislators from office.
How about you, MosesKnows.
Thanks for your good efforts.
I have been educating myself of the importance of America's founding documents for a free people in a capitalist economy under a republican form of government.
The three most important things I like to share are :
The Constitution is not about the people.
The Bill of Rights did not grant rights to the people.
An amendment is the only way to add or remove legislative powers.
Another aspect that comes up often is the fact that America is not a democracy. I believe you are already aware of these facts. Keep up the good work.
