By the way, my kids will not be selling lemonade on the street like common hobos.

This was near where the U.S. Open was being held in Bethesda, MD. Supposedly where the stand was located could potentially impede traffic in addition, I think a permit was required. Last week was a commuter's nightmare because of this event...

You can't go in a grocery store here in Tucson without getting hit on by the tamale family.. They get you in the parking lot going in, at the door, and in the parking lot leaving.. and often use cute kids to try to make you open your wallet. They are EXPENSIVE, and I seriously doubt they have a license to sell, pay taxes, or have any oversight at all. Much like the evil white children that sell lemonade, except the lemonade kids get busted...

UPDATE: Montgomery County officials have allowed the children to reopen their lemonade stand, by relocating it about 100-feet away from the intersection where it was set up Thursday.
The county permits director Jennifer Harris says the neighborhood children, who are raising money to fight pediatric cancer, needed to move their stand from the "main strip," to a more private, safer area. The $500 fine was also waived. (from the first link in the OP) So it was a safety issue for the kids and the public.

The town that I live in is primarily Hispanic. We see tamale vendors all the time in shopping center parking lots. I do not think that what they are doing is legal; it's just overlooked. Also, selling tamales out of the back of a van in a grocery store parking lot is a little more discreet than a kid setting up a lemonade stand.
Personally, I believe that that first lemonade stand can be the catalyst to developing an entrepreneurial spirit in a lot of young kids - something that we need more of for the future of this country. But nooooo....the lemonade might not be served at the right temperature or whatever - horrors!!

I heard one of these stories on Mark Levin's show the other night. This is the result of not merely having too many laws- but of government having too much of our money, which they then use to pay too many employees, who are then bored and in search of something to do- and they dredge this kind of stuff up.
To my "law and order" conservative friends: You can't have a police state without...police. It's time to defund departments, cut back on excess staff so that they can pass whatever stupid laws they want, but they simply will not have the manpower to enforce them. This way, they will have to 'prioritize'. Oh, they'll scream and shout and try to scare us into thinking that our house will burn to the ground because we don't have enough firefighters-- but we need to stand up and tell them to go to hell: PRIORITIZE. You don't need to be policing lemonade stands and garage sales.

So they caved to public pressure on this one. As Marsha said-- lemonade stands have BEEN getting busted. Heck, when I was a kid we used to set up stands sometimes, and I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood with an MD father. Nothing hobo about a lemonade stand...

Although in Washington, DC (where I work), they have traditional hotdog stands, there are also a multitude of food trucks and all require licensing. I don't think I would ever buy food from someone that just pulls it out of a cooler or whatever. The food trucks in DC have some awesome food. Austin Grill has a food truck, there is the lobster roll truck (the lobster rolls are $15.00), and is very popular, the Korean Bul Gi Oh trucks, and just saw a new one for a guy that sells crab salad sandwiches ... I think it was about $11.00 for six ounces.

The only place I'd stop and buy lemonade is from children in my middle class neighborhood. I keep gold dollars in my purse just for lemonade stands! It's not about making money, it's about a healthy experience in free enterprise.

Besides, they weren't selling homemade lemonade, these were all bottled drinks, i.e., went to Costco or Sam's bought a couple of cases of water, tea, etc., and sold them.

Additionally because of the parking nightmares, a lot of residents in that area were allowing cars to park on their lawns for $25.00 to $30.00 for each day.

Who OWNS the lawn? I feel the same way about these "ordinances" concerning lawn mowing, which plants you can grow, what color you can paint your house, etc. It's YOUR house. Now, markets could be created for this sort of thing-- if government would get out of the way. For example, "noise" could be priced and then purchased or sold like "carbon credits". We could allow the market to price "peace and quiet" and rather than regulate it-- if your neighbor wanted to make noise, he could buy "peace and quiet" from you and his other neighbors. Now, if someone refused to sell-- too bad. Peace and quiet would obviously cost more during the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (or close to it)

By the way, my kids will not be selling lemonade on the street like common hobos. I'm a compassionate guy. I don't want my rich white kids driving the hobos out of business. I don't want hobos starving and dying- so without any government regulation, but purely out of compassion, we will freely choose not to compete with hobos.

What level and are we talking? Overall weighted dBa rating or are we talking at a pitch (which can be more annoying at lower levels). Are you going to have to calculate your dBa rating at each neighbors house and at which point in the house, who is going to calculate it and how will they take into account all the obstructions without hiring an acoustical engineer. At what point does the noise drop to a level that you no longer have to sell it to your neighbors? At the threshold of hearing? Good luck mowing your lawn, ever again...

All around the U of A people sell their yards and driveways for parking on game days. I have never heard of cops messing with those people. God..can't even IMAGINE game day without this. Even with shuttles running from all the malls to the U of A traffic is gridlocked for several hours after games, the city just can't afford enough shuttles... and people walk MILES sometimes from where they have to park. And yeahyeahyeah-- there are drunken brawls..
