So, we raise a glass of water (not a soda) to the council. They made a tough call. They chose safety over convenience. They chose public health over a quick fix. It’s almost rebellious, isn’t it?
Will McDonald’s appeal? Probably. Will the lawyers get rich? Absolutely. But for one glorious moment, the little guy won. The traffic won. The sidewalks won. Your cholesterol won.
So next time you’re stuck in traffic, fuming over a cold coffee, remember this council. They looked at a golden promise and said, “I’m not lovin’ it.” And honestly? I’m a little bit proud of them.
