As I drove my 5 year old daughter home Sunday December 5th we waited at a red light on 5th street and Clovis Avenue. "Look at the princesses mommy!" I heard from the back seat. The 500 Club Bar has disney princesses painted on the front window of the bar! I understand that Old town is very festive this time of year and many businesses show their spirit by painting Santa on windows and decorating but this seems out of line to me. Next out of my daughters mouth came the questions. She wanted to know if it was a toy store, if we could go inside and meet the princesses and what people do in the building! We don't put pictures of princesses on cigarrette packs or bottles of alcohol so why would we on a bar window? How irrisponsible to appeal to the youth of our community especially beind located next to a school and in the heart of our community! You are not allowed in a bar unless you are 21 years old so why are you depicting images of our most loved childhood cartoons? As a parent I am disturbed by this and cannot believe that no one else has thought this is so wrong! I shouldn't have to try to explain what a bar is to my 5 year old let alone why that bar looks like a daycare.
