ESPRESSO: Nudes, kids don't blend

Why are there espresso stand baristas working in a semi-nude state without being governed by adult entertainment laws in our community? Are parents aware that these stands serve anyone of any age? Are parents aware that their teenage daughters could work at such a place in a semi-nude state? Why are girls with cleavage and buttocks showing being allowed to serve coffee to minors in our community? This kind of business should not be allowed in a regular commercial business area. It should not be allowed on a main school bus route.

I have been to the mayor and city council here in Post Falls. Although they are willing to admit that the problem exists, they do not seem interested in doing anything to regulate these businesses for the safety of our children.

Businesses operating in a semi-nude state are a concern for our community. The city codes are available online. We as citizens should study this issue and let our representatives hear from us on a local and state level.
