One reason many medicinal cannabis dispensaries have so eagerly embraced regulation is to distinguish themselves from “lemonade stands” such as the Purple Elephant at 14th and Santa Clara streets, where neighbors have reported to Liccardo’s office that the vast percentage of “patients” are young adult males.
“The club is duping people,” said Julie Engelbrecht, who lives next door to the dispensary’s parking lot, where a security guard stands watch day and night. “There’s a lot of activity going on that’s more like organized crime than dispensing marijuana to people in need,” she said. “It just doesn’t feel right.”
Engelbrecht said the building used to house a massage parlor, about whose actual business purpose she and her husband were dubious. But the Purple Elephant has made them almost miss the place. “She didn’t have as many clients, they didn’t make as much noise, and we weren’t as nervous,” Engelbrecht said.

… When we did the slurry sealing of that street to improve it, some of the lane markings were changed,” town manager Greg Larson acknowledged. “Re-labeling and re-marking the bike lane is a relatively simple task that staff can plan to do.”
Before any more changes to that section of the boulevard are made, town staff will meet with neighbors so that their input is factored in.
The council also considered a request from a downtown salon owner to increase the number of stations she can put into her new salon at 23 W. Main St. The building at 23 W. Main is historic and was
recently renovated. It is owned by developer Dave Flick.
Because the renovation took so long, Flick lost the conditional-use permit that ran with the building. That CUP allowed for a salon or another type of personal service business to be located at 23 W. Main. Personal services is a broad category that includes not just hair salons, but nail salons, alteration shops and massage parlors.
