Washington City Councilors are considering regulations that would apply to street vendors in the wake of a new barbecue stand operating on the square. John and Shelly Blakeney say they thought they had went through all the proper channels before they started serving food. The presence of John’s Barbecue in downtown Washington has at least one business owner upset. Mario Savaidis owns Dino’s Pizza. He says it’s one thing to open a restaurant, but another to operate a food stand right outside his place. City councilors have granted the Blakeney’s temporary permission to continue operating the barbecue stand until the issue is further explored in committee.
