Formal Writing #3: You will write from one side of the "bikini barista" controversy. You can choose one of the following assignments based on your perspective.

#1. You are co-owner of a "bikini barista" spot. Business is good. Real good. In fact, you would like to open two more locations throughout the county. Considering the controversy and resistance from the current town council, you don't foresee getting the business permits considering the number of citizens complaining at municipal meetings. You are charged with writing a letter than someone will read aloud at an upcoming town council meeting. The expectation is that angry members of the town will be present.

#2. Read #1. You are a member of the town chamber of commerce. You own a small convenience store in town. You are also a parent and tax-paying town citizen. You agree that the "bikini barista" shop is an eye sore and blight on the town. A group of concerned business owners and citizens has asked you to write a short piece for the local paper condemning the shop.

Paper will be at least two pages. You must directly cite one piece of evidence from the two video pieces. Plus use them and any subsequent source you use in a works cited page. Try to find another viable source for your paper. The videos are cited in APA format below:
