thanks for filling in on this hair cuttery cunundrum. A big
  problem, as always, is the media portrayal. The cops are always
  easy marks for the news media - and sometimes they do make it
  just TOO easy. I'm glad that some of the barber shops are doing
  community outreach - back in Jersey, barbershops weren't

  shops would be. "Pool table supply" "Film reels" - all
  questionable B2B shops whose doors were never open. Oh, and
  butcher shops of course, especially when all the cars parked
  outside had NY license plates on it. But that was
