Anyone else tired of looking at the "fruit" stand on the corner of Old Drug Store and NC 50? It was bad enough when the yard was full of junk, and I actually was pretty happy to see them clean that out, but now a fruit stand? It wouldn't be too bad if there were not at least 10 hand painted signs, that look, well, like crap. Do you have to have a permit to operate a fruit stand? They advertise local produce, but the other day they were selling BANANAS! Can someone tell me where I can get a Banana tree for my yard? )
That corner has been an eyesore for years! The shame of it is that it could be a really nice piece of property with the creek right there. They cleaned it up some- in my opinion, not enought to take it out of the eyesore category. I would not buy fruit from there just because of how trashy it looks-gross!
I know two people that have bannana tree's. One off of Cleveland School Rd, and my in-laws have one that they move in/out doors every year. The old man that lived there passed away, so it looks like to me that his kids are trying to clean up the property.
Well, if the DOT would ever fix the stoplight that they "fixed" in the first place it didn't take forever for the light to turn green coming off of ODS onto 50 the junky signs would just fly by! The other day when it rained so hard I guess the wind/water turned over one of their stands and squash and watermelons were floating in the ditch beside the road. YUMMY!:drool::drool:
No, you don't need a permit. I don't see where it's any of your business what that man does with his property, unless you're helping pay for it and the taxes?
