Barnet Council will not remove a controversial parklet in Hendon – despite opposition claims the move is “a no-brainer”.

Maybe a decade ago ago I lived in a small town where the local chamber of commerce worked with the city to fight against the opening of a restaurant catering to a foreign ethnicity in a prime location on main street. This reminds me of that.

Edit: Found this photo online, looks pretty popular despite what the counselor states.

a restaurant catering to a foreign ethnicity

And it's just a little pita shop? Lmao holy shit I hope your idea of "maybe a decade ago" is 1982

It was around 2018, in Canada, and wasn't a pita shop.
