PSA: Boycott Bad Business Behavior

There is not a politician out there who is not trying to turn the pandemic to their own benefit. As are businesses especially those in Dunwoody Village who appear to have pent up hatred of the requirements of the community as expressed in the Village Overlay. Pent up no more. They're mad as hell and they're ready to say "screw you" to anyone who thinks this is not their land to rule. And they'll get no disagreement from our elected officials, who for all practical purposes are asleep at the wheel, or city staff who are actually fanning the flames.

So it is now as it once was before we had a city--it is time for the Citizens OF Dunwoody to pick up the litter with which others have arrogantly and rudely polluted our landscape. Not since Memorial Highway of the late '80s has any area been as trashy looking as Dunwoody Village at this very moment.

Could it be any trashier? We may well find out.

Referencing Giggle we find a very workable definition of litter: "trash that is left lying in an open or public place" but these litterings are more than just trash, they are trash that is in violation of duly passed city ordinances and therefore the most odious form of litter. So now might be the time you can aid in the beatification of Your Dunwoody, any part of it, by picking up and disposing of litter. You may even reach for celebrity status so that you too may get a garbage truck named in your honor.

It is also time for the inaugural selection for the TOD Boycott Bad Business Behavior award. It would be really nice if it went to worst offender but that is the City Economic Development group and as you know you cannot boycott paying your taxes. So they are in the position of using your tax dollars to deface Your Dunwoody and your only leverage is indirect. By boycotting bad behavior you'll also reduce, ever so slightly, some of the resources they use to screw you over.

The choice is made difficult because so many businesses were vying for the top slot, but after much deliberation you just must pick the dope. If cannabidiol is a key part of your diet there is a very good (so say the yelpers) option that fits with the BBBB goals:
The Georgia Hemp CBD Company
290 Hilderbrand Dr B-3
Sandy Springs, GA 30328
(404) 343-2796
Stop by or give them a ring. Just give them your business.
