try at humor fall flat

Billy Murphy's

attempt at humor in his "Laugh Lines" about our

opposition to Hooters coming to Fayetteville (July 19)

was flat, shallow, tasteless, crass, sick, and

disappointing to anyone who takes seriously the standard

and quality of life of our community. I was extremely

disappointed that The Citizen even considered it for

publication, let alone printed it. According to his own

words he lives in Peachtree City and thus is not even a

resident here. If he wants such a restaurant nearby for

his bad taste enjoyment that's his serious

problem-don't make it ours. I suggest that he

organize a group of like-minded (or mindless) Peachtree

City citizens and invite Hooters to open up in HIS back

yard. We like our neighborhood free of such trash over

here. I hope a record number of Fayetteville citizens

will stand up and be counted, attending the meeting of

the Planning Commission at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 25. I

further hope our commissioners will understand just how

serious we are in our opposition to this, and will find a way to keep this camel's nose

out from under our tent flap. Didn't they learn anything

from The Market? I certainly hope so. Don't let them open

the door for anyone else to dump more trash on us, or

next we just might have to mobilize to dump them!
