Bowing to national ridicule, the town of Clayton, Calif., has allowed Katie Lewis, 11, and Sabrina Lewis, 3, to reopen their roadside vegetable stand. Katie and Sabrina got busted for selling zucchinis, melons and radishes from a card table -- ie., operating a commercial establishment in a residential area without a license. From the San Jose Mercury News:

Clayton leaders decided Tuesday night that two girls can re-open their vegetable stand — the one city staffers said two months ago violated zoning regulations and was immediately shut down.

As early as Wednesday, the Fisher Price card table could be back in front of the Lewis house on Mitchell Canyon Road, with 11-year-old Katie Lewis and sister 3-year-old Sabrina sitting behind it. They'll once again sell produce like the $1 melons and 50-cent radish bunches grown in their yard.

"We certainly see we've touched a nerve here," Planning Commissioner Keith Haydon said Tuesday night, referring to the regional and national media attention that rained down on the city of 10,000 once word got out that Mayor Gregg Manning had asked the police department to shut down the Lewis's stand.

Letting the stand operate is "in keeping with the flavor or image of Clayton," Haydon continued.
