Lady shuts down little girls lemonade stand - send her a letter
This story came out today and made me sad and mad. So I found the
address and phone number of the dragonlady that turned-in the two littel girls trying to run the lemonade stand. (see story below) Send her a nasty letter or voicemail. Pass this along to your most evil friends. Thx O.V. Carreathers 5956 Pershing Ave Saint Louis, MO 63112-1514 Tel.: (314) 726-4989 "Aug 12, 9:57 AM (ET) ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two seventh grade girls really know a thing or two about turning lemons into lemonade. They were doing a booming business at their lemonade stand Wednesday - a day after a neighbor complained and the city Health Department temporarily put them out of business. Mim Murray, 10, and Marisa Miller-Stockie, 12, of St. Louis, have sold lemonade together for three summers, hoping to save enough for laptop computers before school starts. But the girls said a Health Department inspector told them Tuesday they didn't have the proper business licenses and were selling unsafe ice cubes. The girls were using powdered lemonade mix with ice cubes bought from a store. A resident, O.V. Carreathers, 48, had registered a complaint about the stand on Friday with the city's Citizens Service Bureau. The girls didn't work Monday, but the inspector found them Tuesday. Carreathers said she wanted to keep the girls off her property: "I just didn't want them blocking my walkway." The girls said their stand had been on the grass behind Carreathers' property. After the stand was shut down Mim's mother, Germaine Murray, called a St. Louis television station and the family's pastor, Monsignor Salvador Polizzi. He brought the situation to the attention of Mayor Francis Slay. Melba Moore, the city's health commissioner, said temporary food and beverage vendors are supposed to obtain permits, but that doesn't apply to children's lemonade stands. "It should not have happened. And I apologize," said Moore, who gave the girls $3 Wednesday for a 25-cent cup of lemonade. Besides earning $112 Wednesday, the girls said they have learned something from their lemonade experience: "You don't have to sit there and take it," Mim said. Marisa added, "We learned to stand up for ourselves." EOM |
