Just in case you were worried about getting bored, about not having anything to be concerned about or complain about or write us letters about, Don Crabtree saves the day.

Crabtree's the owner of The Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro. If you've been hiding under a rock for the last few months, that's the place that opened in February on Route 3 where topless waitresses and waiters served coffee and doughnuts. They did, that is, until someone burned the place to the ground in early June.

During its brief life, the shop was the center of a media frenzy that stretched from Maine across the globe. The rest of the world seemed to love or hate the idea of a small, rural Maine town playing host to such an enterprise. Local residents had their opinions, too. We got a lot of letters to the editor saying this was a free country and mind your own beeswax or decrying the sin and shame that had been visited upon Vassalboro.

Things had quieted down after the fire and we wondered what everyone was doing in place of writing, talking or thinking about the Grand View. Or visiting it.

Now, we don't have to wonder anymore.

Crabtree has just gotten approval from the Vassalboro Planning Board to operate once again in a new building. Despite the fact that town residents passed a new ordinance in June that restricts where, when and how "sexually oriented businesses" may operate in Vassalboro (you could call it the Grand View Memorial Ordinance), Crabtree's request was considered simply an expansion of his existing permit. This time the building will be larger, operate for more hours and accommodate more people.

So we're ready for the onslaught. Letters, people!
