Wussy Nation Headline Of The Day



"PORTSMOUTH — Fearing it may "freak out" pedestrians at Vaughan Mall, the City Council limited its approval of a local boutique shop owner's request to place a seated mannequin outside her store to three months, rather than one year.
Sonja Echt, owner of Edelweiss, a gift shop at 21 Vaughan Mall that sells imported items, placed the dressed mannequin outside the entrance to her shop as a way to draw in customers. In the midst of approving various businesses requests for one-year sidewalk obstruction licenses, the unusual request prompted some questions from the council Monday.
"Have we allowed a chair with a mannequin on city property before?" said Councilor Eric Spear. "Because it kind of freaks me out actually."
Councilor Esther Kennedy shared the concern, "I kind of agree with Councilor Spear. It kind of freaks me out, too."
