  1. 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.

  2. I would have to agree with the former comment.

    On another note, the "nosy neighbor" in me totally wants to know more about the "toilet room."
