I find this type of news to be gossipy or know-it-all rather than informative. Although the permits are public information, the news of what these businesses are doing is their news to announce. This reminds me of my sister-in-law who told everyone I was pregnant before I had a chance to tell. It's not cool to tell other people's news. These businesses might want to use this news as part of their marketing and promotion.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with the former comment.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, the "nosy neighbor" in me totally wants to know more about the "toilet room."
