Barbecue Joint Needs Permit For Busty Mannequin
Under City Rules, Figure Is Considered Sign

READING, Ohio –– A man who runs a suburban Cincinnati barbecue joint says the busty mannequin he put out front has been good for business, but city officials say he needs a permit to keep her there. The Design and Review Board in suburban Reading said under city rules, the figure is considered a sign, requiring a permit.

Restaurateur Kenny Tessel said the 5-foot-10 mannequin, dressed in a bikini top and tight short-shorts, cost him nearly $200 but he quickly made that back from customers.

He already has made one change. He removed a chain that kept the mannequin tethered to a utility pole after police said that was against the sign code.

Tessel had chained the mannequin because he said he didn't want some "yahoo" tossing her into the back of a pickup truck.

I'm surprised they are worried about this in a town like Reading. For those who've never been there its kinda like a Jimmy Buffet fan's idea of heaven...hmm wait wait...the weather isn't nice enough...its what Larry the Cable Guy would call home.

Men who drive trucks that cost more than their homes, woman who are cute till they hit 19 and are guaranteed to pop out a few, a tactically located liquor store in the center of it and more bars than all the educational, cultural, historical and government buildings combined....

It's amazing how tight a grip the powers that be have on small businesses. I had to scrape the automotive stickers off the shop window back when i worked up north. Apparently they didn't meet code.

When I worked retail we put up a "SALE" sign on the front of our building. The police and local code enforcement showed up telling us we had to take it down or pay a fine. We needed to get permits to hang additional signage on the outside of the building.

Oh, and I guess looking at plastic boobies is almost as good as looking at real boobies?

Actual there is decent BBQ in OH, http://www.montgomeryinn.com/

Being from VA I'm not really sure if your in a position to talk smack about other people's BBQ. After all, you don't make good BBQ, your neighbors to the south and the west do
