Business as usual at Pronto Pups, after owner's controversial social media post - mlive.com
GRAND HAVEN, MI - A controversial social media post authored by the owner of a popular waterfront snack shack did not appear to slow business the day after the tirade generated strong online comments.
But some had come out on purpose: to support a local business, Nelson specifically, or the notion that he had the right to express his opinions.

On Monday, St. Louis-area attorney Thomas DeVore filed a preliminary injunction against the Illinois High School Association and the Hillsboro School District.
The move claims the IHSA's return-to-play plan, which involves masks and social distancing, will cause ''immediate and irreparable harm'' to the rights of student-athletes. It also alleges the rules are ''the illegal product of collusion between state agencies, [IHSA executive director Craig] Anderson and the IHSA.''
