How dare you take my photo on public property! Robin Stotter, co-owner of a restaurant across from the picnic area at Lake Eola Park. Here Stotter brandishes his umbrella at the photographer. The name of Stotter's company is Chef Concepts of Orlando, Ltd.
Frick and Frack Stotter (Oh, no!, he's thinking, They're feeding people again!) and his business partner, George Miguel. The pair have been vocal proponents of the "large group feedings" ordinance, fearing that sharings of food in a public park for two hours a week will keep yuppies away from their multi-million dollar "fine dining" establishment. They think that their private profits are more important than people.
George Miguel uses his cell phone to snap a picture of the photographer taking his picture.
The overflowing construction dumpster next to Stotter's restaurant. The "large group feedings" ordinance claims that sharing food with the homeless is "detrimental to the aesthetic atmosphere of parks." What about this dumpster?
