More discussion and controversy over Double D Saloon

More 'news' on the Double D Saloon in western Palm Beach County. Andy Reid at the Sun Sentinel is getting into the act and Wayne Washington at the Palm Beach Post continues to fan the flames. Now the Broward New Times is reporting on it too. The New Times contains more salacious news reporting that can't get published in a respectable news organization, ergo the reputation of bottom feeders. Here is the image New Times reporter Chris Joseph used to promote his story:

The picture is just a little bit inflammatory.

Now on Andy Reid and his article about the Double D Saloon. Andy Reid quoted PBC Commissioner Steven Abrams on the neighborhoods located near the Double D Saloon like this, "it's not Boca Raton". This neighborhood is actually represented by County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay.

Here are the last 4 paragraphs from Andy Reid's article in the Sun Sentinel; he is definitely not trying to dial back the community's anger:

McKinlay [County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay], who lives in Palm Beach Plantation near the proposed Double D Ranch and Saloon, said she is also concerned about more adult businesses deciding to open in the area. She said there are 22 other sites along Southern Boulevard west of Florida's Turnpike eligible to have adult businesses.

"If we make it easier for these establishments ... that's not the message that I want to send," McKinlay said.

Abrams [Commissioner Steve Abrams], who represents southeastern Palm Beach County on the commission, pointed out that it has been more than a decade since the county last approved an adult entertainment permit.

And while the location along Southern Boulevard planned for Double D Ranch and Saloon is down the road from a couple of neighborhoods, "it's not Boca Raton," Abrams said.
