Dunedin boy with lemonade stand reaps windfall; neighbor under city review
DUNEDIN T.J. Guerrero has gained international attention this week because of his lemonade stand. Since a story about a neighbor's efforts to shut down the 12-year-old boy's venture ran in Sunday's Tampa Bay Times, T.J. has been given donations, treated to a limo ride and featured in news reports from New York to Europe. He also has given back by donating some of the money to a local animal shelter.
The neighbor, Doug Wilkey, hasn't fared as well. He is now under investigation by the city for of all things potentially running a business out of his home without a license.
A tipster contacted the city and pointed officials toward records that show Wilkey, as recently as March, listed his Patricia Avenue home as the principal business address for Bayport Financial Services.
Planning director Greg Rice said officials were drafting a letter notifying Wilkey, 61, that all companies operating in the city require a business tax license, which costs about $45 a year, and that home-based-business owners must sign an affidavit agreeing to follow special rules.
Be sure to watch the video, that kid's a charmer.
I did find this one at You Tube about the stand.
