Go Skins Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/26369258/12-year-olds-lemonade-biz-booms-despite-battle-with-elderly-neighbor DUNEDIN (FOX 13) - A 61-year-old man is battling with a 12-year-old kid over a lemonade stand. Yes, a lemonade stand. T.J. Guerrero, 12, spends his weekends selling different flavors of lemonade and cookies at the corner of San Salvador Drive and Patricia Avenue. One of his neighbors, Doug Wilkey, 61, apparently has a big problem with it. The Tampa Bay Times first reported, since May 2013 Wilkey has sent several emails to Dunedin City officials complaining about trash, traffic, illegal parking, noise and that Guerrero's lemonade stand is hurting his property value. City officials responded and explained that the city is not in the business of putting lemonade stands out of business, and the case was closed. T.J. got quite the surprise Monday afternoon when he got home from school. Hundreds of thirsty people had stopped by looking for lemonade and a chance to meet T.J. "This is amazing," T.J. said. "I definitely did not know they were doing this. I just got a call from a friend saying they were." Referring to The Mike Calta Show on 102.5 The Bone, T.J. quickly joined one of the show's members, "Spanish" as he poured cup after cup of lemonade.

|Numbers| Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I looked at this a little closer. The kid doesn't even live where he set up shop. He did receive permission from the owner of the property to put his sign and stand up in the shade of a corner lot. Look at the map in satellite. Anybody that stops for lemonade will inevitably block the thoroughfare from pedestrians and other drivers. Wilkey has reported his vehicle being damaged and property having trash etc... thrown on it. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/world/archives/2014/08/20140826-113541.html T.J. Guerrero sells lemonade and cookies from 3 to 7 p.m., and got permission to place his sign in a neighbour's lawn in Dunedin, Florida. "It's all about profit," Guerrero told the paper. Wilkey alleges Guerrero's friends make noise, swear and throw rocks and garbage onto his lawn. He also complains about customers parking in front of his home, which Guerrero and others deny. http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/dunedin-neighbor-is-sour-on-boys-lemonade-stand-wvideo/2194374 T.J. lives four doors down from Wilkey but places his stand on the shaded sidewalk in front of Rodney Shrode's corner lot home next door to Wilkey's. T.J. Guerrero, 12, sells a lemonade to a repeat customer, truck driver Dan Wright, who is working on a construction project nearby https://www.google.com/maps/place/San+Salvador+Dr+%26+Patricia+Ave,+Dunedin,+FL+34698/@28.0261335,-82.7756918,206m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x88c2f22d72ea8bcb:0xfe5cd23a9128fdef The map link listed above is a Google Map of the area in question. You make up your own mind. This angry old man is now signing off. Don't give up the fight Mr. Wilkey :265: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Numbers| Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 No its not clear. Mr Wilkey or the kid is the obvious answer but if you look at the picture provided above it becomes clear. The truck driver has his hands in the air, therefore, shoot the truck driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khatmandude Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 He's probably illegal, he has a hispanic sounding name. Definitely shut it down, tell him to go back to his own country and if need be, as Go has mentioned, shoot him. Probably just best to shoot him off the bat. He's probably dangerous and stole a pack of gum when he was 5. Criminals deserve to be shot. Immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The TJ is suspicious I bet he has a Muslim first name. Probably a member of ISIS they are coming to America you know. Kill him its for the best. 'Merica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
