[Vision2020] Smoking Ordinance: Now for the Exodus now that the Gang of 7 has spoken!

[Saundra Lund]

LOL -- this is great.

And, it's along the lines of something I was thinking about earlier.
Perhaps those of you more familiar with the watering holes in Latah County
but beyond the reach of Moscow's Clueless Council can post here about smoker
friendly bars . . . maybe something like mini-reviews with the bar name in
the subject line?

Personally, I'd be interested in comments about restaurants in those
vicinities, too, because if I'm going to drive to enjoy a smoke with a glass
of wine, I'm likely going to want to make an evening out of it by having
dinner as well  :-)

On a slightly different note, rather than having a Smoke-In in Friendship
Square, I think the middle of Main or Sixth Streets might be a better venue
:-)  Since Bill Lambert was too lazy to get off *his* "duff" and do the
measuring, I'd be happy to measure 20 feet east (I think) from the door of
the Garden Lounge or south from John's Alley.  If they want to force us into
the streets, perhaps we should simply oblige them  :-)

Ran across this in Craigslist today:

"Well congrats Moscow, you have allowed the lives of many be changed  
and affected by a few. I understand people not wanting to be around  
smoke and that is fine, but to ban smoking is unamerican. I am a  
bartender of 12 years and smoking and bars go togather like peanut  
butter and jelly. Decisions like this makes me happy to be living in a  
small town. So if ya'all want a smoke with your drink make the short  
drive to troy Idaho, where we make our own decisions and police our  
selves. We have 3 bars and a town full of good people. Drop by and you  
mite see me and we will have a drink and a smoke. All I ask is that  
you leave your high and mighty attitude and your troubles at the city  
limits."
