You wouldn't know lemonade stands were shutdown if social media didn't expose it. But what it should be is a lesson for cities to adopt a young entrepreneur license for like $10/year. There will always be some angry a-hole who will call the cops or HOA idiot whining.

My suburbia neighborhood there were people who wanted to share books with people freely in a small mailbox near the curb, like a mini-library. Someone started whining and the city was like "it's illegal to have such a structure" so once it hit the news people went crazy over the stupidity of the cities response.

I always stop for the bad lemonade at these stands, even tell these kids how to market better with better signs that you can read. I remember knocking on doors selling vegetable seed packets, shoveling snow and whatever to make a few bucks to really appreciate the dollar. I think it's a great PR idea, definitely a creative video, and everytime they intervene it's another story.
