soccerguy315 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cities turn down applications from private industries all the time based on criteria that are much more complex than "is it legal?" Try to open a strip club or a bar right next to a grade school lately? if you could put one of these near a high school and get a bouncer who is a little lax on the ID checking, I think you are onto a big business opportunity here.

Newseditor44 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I once saw America kick a puppy. I loved her on Ugly Betty, but never thought she would be the kinda of person to kick a puppy... she must hate BD and amps too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 ...then I would suggest you give them Dave's number... I'm guessing he sees most of them 2-3 times per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 So let's not worry about some Virginia Millionaire and have a little more compassion for the home town guys who incidentally have already suffered due to California's (Arnold's) propensity to give the Indians anything they ask for (or more correctly anything they're willing to pay for) which has already - along with no smoking laws - severely hurt the charitable games. many people are finding it hard to support an organization that is attempting to throw many others under the bus. It is not good PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja273 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm guessing he sees most of them 2-3 times per week. Then again, they are not the "local charities" people are whining about. Grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 you are so quick to jump in on many threads, yet refused to share any thoughts in the 6000 posts on the G7, which is obviously the driving force behind the unhappiness with BD. It's a little thing I call "appropriateness." Perhaps you do not want to voice your opinion because you are hoping that you can write the liner notes for the G7 only DVD in 2011? Please don't let my secret out. There's a sno-cone at Allentown riding on your cooperation. yea... "someone should tell the council you posted your views on a public forum... that will show them!!!" It would help bring clarification to your argument as to where you're coming from. (Yes, the PR person ended a sentence with a preposition. So sue me.) If you run a business that depends on one source of funding, you need to diversify. As I said, BD already makes more money on souvies than almost every other corps (if not all of them).

soccerguy315 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 And how is sending profits to a professional bingo operator from Virginia keeping money in the local economy?Granted, someone not from Virginia will have to clean the toilets, but still... money from the customers is invested as well, not just the owner. The owner is planning to but a functional business in a building that has been empty for three years. That is not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tja273 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Here is the big point, which you obviously missed while reading my response. BD WILL BE FINE WITH NO BINGO... JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DRUM CORPS... If you are capable of a basic internet search, you will find that many corps still run bingo programs as a part of their fundraising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
