what do you know about the Golden Goat?
From the May 20 minutes of the HJWA association:
Several members were quite vocal about the presence of a new enterprise located at First and Clay Streets called the “Golden Goat.” Other than the proprietors not coming before HJWA to introduce its business for feedback; the membership felt it unsightly and against the image that the community is trying to create for itself. Most members felt it looked like a pawn shop that is in no way representative of the type of business that would maintain the community’s integrity. There was also a great deal of concern that it could attract crime.
