A topless coffee shop opened in Maine a few months ago. Reading about it online, it was very popular with both male and female patrons.
Sadly, many closed minded (or clothed minded) people were very unhappy with it.
Now the funny thing is if you go to the south of France or Spain, at their beaches, there are many beach side cafes and coffee houses. At many of them, the wait staff, both male and female worked topless. In those countries it is no big deal as the clientele was also mainly topless since most beaches in these countries are topless beaches.
Here in the US, we make a big deal about the sight of a bare breast. Not so in Europe. Obviously, European countries are way more mature in their handling of the nude human body.
Here's the story:
"Topless coffee shop burns down; official says it was arson
...Shop's proprietor Donald Crabtree says he will rebuild even in a mobile trailer
Crabtree said he did not have insurance for the Grand View
...In the end, a coffee shop in Vassalboro, Maine, that gained national attention for its topless waiters and waitresses simply proved too hot -- the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop burned to the ground early Wednesday morning.
..."I really liked it here," waitress Krista Macentyre said after learning the cause of the fire. "We weren't hurting anyone. I don't know why someone would do something like this."
...For Crabtree the coffee shop literally was home. He and his two daughters, their two boyfriends, and his two infant grandchildren lived in quarters attached to the Grand View. The fire forced them to relocate to a motel.
...Crabtree said his 10 female and three male employees are "in shock."
While some Vassalboro residents expressed displeasure with the 18-and-over establishment, Crabtree said he had received no threats.
In a February interview with CNN shortly after Grand View opened, Crabtree said the coffee shop was doing brisk business in the small town of 4,500. "It's just been crowds mobbing in," he said at the time.
"This place was made to put smiles on people's faces," he said Wednesday.
Waitress Macentyre added, "This was a good innocent business."
"Every worker was just trying to take care of themselves and make a living -- just trying to live like everybody else," she said."

That is the one thing about nude recreation. It makes people happy. Now it would have been even better if the patrons could also enjoy their coffee topless like in Europe.
It is pretty scary that some people are that threatened by the sight of bare breasts that they burn down someones business. And even more scary is the owner of the business along with family members lived next to the coffee shop. They even had a 4 month old baby. The owner and family could have died in the fire if a ambulance had not noticed the fire and woke the owner.
It's sad that in America we still have so much hatred of the human body.
