A BIKINI CONTEST IN BARNESVILLE? WHERE?
if we have bikini contest now, then that might lead to a strip club like griffin. i think its time to break out the one dollar bills! Barnesville is growing. Rice and Strippers
they was going to have one last night @the lie-brary bar &grill last night but something happen so i went to gto's in griffin where they had one that sucks to because we need something here
well with this new business coming to barnesville, everybody might have something to do around here. LIKE WORK! crap like that needs to stay at gtos. stuff like that just brings problems.
did it happen? i was going to take my brother and his wife and kids to go eat there, to get a good hamburger and beer. glad we decided not to go. i thought that place was a bar and grill not a GTOS.
AINT THE COLLEGE OUT OF SESSION RIGHT NOW. WHERE DID THE GIRLS COME FROM MALANO'S
did happen they was going to do it late but thats when the kids are post to be in the bed anyway i love their food
To the guy with nothing to do: Go order some girls gone wild videos and stay at home. It might save you some money.
hell lets see if we can get a hooters down here they can do what they want and kids are there all the time or just watch the miss america pagent on t.v. thats the same thing or go to the pool or a church car wash come on people...we have to help the local people
If the food is good and the beer is cold then people will come. Dont need no bait. Malanos always has people in there bar.
yea the same 7 people hiding from there wife with a tear in their beer
Evidently the barnesville 7:18 aint never been to a bikini contest! Do we have a bikini contest at our local pool? Dancing and girating==never saw it at hooter, and especially not at the baptist car wash. Where is this guy from? I guess he has never been out of Barnesville
Is that where my husband is at? Damn you malonos!
everybody has a chose to go there or stay at home but theres no law against it i hope they have one once a month
chose meaning choice

im going there just to check it out tonight havent been there yet but i herd it was good
i think we need to send all our money over seas damn the local people i wouldnt have a business in barnesville they make up the law as they go
when was the last time you seen a american ownened gas station i like the lie brary its cool we needed something
im in the public eye here and i like that place never any trouble there.guess i need to go there more often to help them out i can make my on choices
ANON 7:34...you need to learn how to write a sentence before you worry about a law suit........You must be working on your 2nd six pack.
If yall want a bikini contest go to the crows nest....the county does not have ordinances against that. For the same reason, the strip club is in Spalding Co, not in the city of Griffin.
Now, I thought this was a family resturant? I dont think I will take my children back there!
Last but not least, there must be some really hard up guys in this town.
What does a gas station have to do with a bikini contest?
what kinda person takes their kid to a bar and grill anyway not a true baptist anyway
I will not be going back
We have someone who is investing millions of dollars and you people are worried about bikini contest
im taking my wife tonight 4 karaoke
This is like the movie Footloose.....There will be half naked women allowed in this town!
Does this guy allow kids in his resturant?
Oh boy!!!! Your wife is one lucky woman. I am jealous.
the mayor has played there thats a great place live music we are making history moving on up
hope you start a business here you'll see what happen in barnesville no support for anything
Please use commas, periods or something
i hit a nerve
How many people in Barnesville do you actually think will support something like that?
I am laughing as I am typing.
If some of the community had found out about it before hand, I can bet u there would have been protesters in front of the place.
Was the Mayor in a bikini?
WE HAVE A CHOICE.I NEED TO SEE THIS PLACE.AND MEET THE OWNER.
I had a great steak there!
i wish they would get liquar.then i wouldn't have to go to malono's
ate there 2 times this week.great place
See, meet, do what ever you want....will that change the law?
All I can say is WHO CARES! I never see that many people there.
you must not go by there nobodys in malono's
guess you go to curves stip bar to eat with your kids
ya'll need to stop.its a good place to relax and enjoy yourself
its not just a bikini thing its really nice they have karaoke on thurday night and sat night great food owners are nice people kids are in the place when i go. things like the dancing (what a big dance floor they have) dont start till like 10 anyway. we all need to help and support them cause it sounds like some of the people in b ville dont want it and this is just what we need!!!
I think people here are ignorant and they should think about the future. What will happen in 10 years when the buildings are no longer new, the tax breaks end, and the chinese leave several hundred families without jobs. We will be back to Aldora's closing days. As I recall the taxes on my land and my business both went up. I really love how we give incentives to foreigners who don't give a **** about anything but filling their pockets. What else would be their incentive? A quick fix now can be devastating in the future. Great job IDA! I would like to know what this companies track record is. At least the county will make money during this IDA's reign, and they will come out smelling like a rose. It won't be until they are dead and gone that we understand the consequences of their ignorant decisions. Perhaps a Devil's advocate is necessary in ALL areas of life.
Yall are dumb asses! 100 million dollars should say something.
I think if you want dancing, liquor, and bikini contest, then it should be considered as and adult establishment...not as a family resturant. I would have no problem with that. Is it closed down at a certain time for families and becomes adult only after 10pm? Just curious?
thats what they do no kids after 10
How bout wet T-Shirt contest? Stripers? women dancing around in bikinis? Whats next? How much was the prize money? What I really want to know is who signed up to be in the contest.....that would probably be a good laugh.
So after 10 it becomes an adult establishment....thats cool.
Hope the concil is looking into closing all the loopholes so that we dont end up with a strip club like Griffin.
it sure is funny that griffin has everyone scared.all the lie brary is for fun and a place to hang out i know the owners and they dont want that. they want people to stay in town and keep there money in barnesville not every other city
i am a student @ gordan college and i think its a great place.i should have went to athens!!!!!
i dont think anyone is saying it is a bad place. Since it is such a great place, why do they need the bikini contest? Dancing and kareoki sound great to me.
If it was me, i would go to the city counncil and see if there is a city ordinance for this. Im sure there is, and i bet you just have to have a permit for this type of entertainment! It aint that hard people. (and by the way i have been to bikini contest and there is a difference between the local pool and a bikini contest) If you want this to happen, be SMART and not IGNORANT>
100 million dollars should say something? Its nothing to a big business. I know you cant comprehend since you make 20k a year. What will happen when the community and the workers get used to the new jobs? Being ignorant they will buy new houses, cars and other items that will put them in debt. The community will do good until the tax breaks expire and the business moves. Then where will the people with outstanding loans work? You think of now and don't look to the future. They throw large sums of money out, and you bite like a damn fool. They will make billions off of your stupidity. Then we will be left with another empty building and families who can't pay their bills. They will offer mill/assembly line jobs for the uneducated. You should question their motive. Why barnesville? What can they get from us? Why are we so perfoect for them? You better believe they aren't thinking about the jobs they will bring. If you think the business gives a damn about aything but filling their pockets, you are a damn fool.
How can you predict the future? Why would they dump that much money into somthing and then bail?
As for me not comprehending, my 1st quarter "bonus" was more than the 20k you assusme that I make in a year. I am not the uneducated fool.
This place isnt going to effect me one way or the other, but it will bring jobs to those who need it. Dont be so negative. Barnesville needs this.
ANON 9:08..... By the way, you could say that about any job. What do people do when they get laid off or fired. They find another job. I dont know about you but a lot of people prepare for things like that, you know, put money aside, etc. So basically everything you said is your prediction for the future. Give me an educated reason as to why you think this company is a bad idea.
What kind of entertainment does the lie brary plan to provide for women?
where the heck is the lie brary?
The old movie store
On college Dr.
908 is probably just angry because he is a convicted felon and cant get a job anywhere. lighten up 908, someone will give you a handout.
the lie-brary, located on college drive in the old grand illusion video store, has good food and a nice atmosphere. i have not been there for any of their extracurricular activites but, with the college soon to become four year and big chinese industry coming to town, look for more and more of this type of business coming here. if you dont like it, best move to roberta or something.
