Walking the plank at the Mermaid Inn
Shoot! Someone was on guard last evening to watch and protect the fresh patch of sidewalk against initial-engraving vandals. I was hoping to engrave "free the lobsters" and "lobster killers" into the sidewalk! (By the way, I have no idea whether they even serve lobster.) Or, at the very least, "EV Grieve11!!!11"

Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.
However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.
If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
Or you could have presented yourself as an advocate for the Mermaids, accusing Mermaid Inn of violating the Mermaid's civil rights and abusing and mistreating their names, and the use of their name without their approval; furthermore, the use of their name and the stereotypical and derogatory symbols that depicts Mermaids as inferior, foolish, and violent and that mocked Mermaid's appearances, dress, and cultures. By engraving on the fresh patch of the sidewalk , you are merely exercising your right of Free Speech.
