I have been keeping up to date on this story with George, also known as Ju Ju. I have seen him in his business for 20 years. I see him help people whenever needed, talk to the kids, as well as the parents. We have all overlooked things in our lives. Knowing Ju Ju, I do not believe he purposely conducted business with out of date license. I believe it was an over look, as we are all quilty of. For some reason or other, this new police chief from Pittsburgh, seems to think he can run things here and be like a big city. This is not, and we should give our store owners, who have been in business for so long, the benifit of the doubt. I agree codes should be brought up to date, but do the job as code enforcement legally. People have rights, and businesses should have time to fix problems without being shut down, harrased or treated wrongly. For some reason it seems this new chief has a hard on for George's place. Maybe because the kids like to go there. I don't know, but the real problem should be being addressed on the streets with the kids, not attacking store owner who has no control over what the kids do outside of the store. George has never stopped the police to coming to the store to police the area. He cannot help what goes on outside of his store, it is not his job. This town has very few businesses and to lose places that have been with us for 20 years is a shame. I think the police chief is targeting the wrong way, and the wrong person for problems with the kids. Don't let another take the blame for what the kids are doing themselves. Crack down on the kids, and let the man run his lively hood as he has done for 20 years. Fair is Fair! Mistakes happen! Give George a fair chance, and I am sure he will make things right all the way around.

Look at what happens to new businesses (THE MYSTIK MONKEY) The shop owner was searched multiple times at his shop -UNLAWFULLY- NO DRUGS were found. The owner was stalked by a crazy woman who stole his shop and opened it a block away. when the crazy lady was told to stay away from his business she came in and tried to black male him and then when that wasnt successful she attacked him so he pulled a gun. The police threatened him to close his shop without any written statements taken at that time of the arrest.(CASTLE DOCTRINE-READ ABOUT THIS.) Did i mention the multiple staked charges that mounted the owner(corruption of minors,bribery, conspiracy...) because he refused to close down even though that was his only source of income.
The owner of the mystik monkey was crucified because he tried to make something different for the community and the kids.(cant help the kids in this town.) but I guess its all about who your family is in this town even if you are a dirty bum that doesnt work or doesnt have a college education. So if your an experienced business owner in it for 20years or a fledgling stay away from putting a business in this small inbred community of ellwood city.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Gemini

It's easy to become distracted and confused because your mind is wandering about in all sorts of different directions. You're also in a highly impressionable state so will believe almost anything you're told now, whether it's true or a total flight of fancy. Be wary of muddling others by only telling them half the story or letting your imagination fill in any gaps.
