Consignment sales are strictly prohibited.” With that ordinance in mind, and 3 YEARS…

On Monday (07/17), a neighbor of Bari Miley contacted the Metro Codes Department via phone.

She has been partnering with Shenanigoats, LLC for use of their landscaping goats in a venture as ‘Shenanigoats Yoga. The specific financial agreement/contract between her and Shenanigoats has not been made available at this time. What is known is that nearly…
