What a great story! Unfortunately, if Robert and his Dad tried this today he’d be quickly shut down by at least one of a variety of government entities….tax man, zoning board, planning commission, health department, traffic control, building department, child welfare, etc. They’d all have “good reasons” why he couldn’t be on that corner selling cucumbers.
