Funniest thing I've read all day.
The people that live on the sidewalk would rather whine about the owner of a building playing music then move.

There was a 7-11 in CA years ago that made the news because they were playing Barry Manilow songs in the parking lot 24/7 to keep the gang bangers from hanging out. Supposedly it worked reasonably well.Jered wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 1:07 amStupid MSN.

There was another one in southern California that is still playing classical music to chase the bums away. Amazingly, it works.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.

Southern Rock, aka Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels, etc seems to work pretty well too. Not to mention David Allan Coe..
