HARTFORD, Conn. - A man who has been giving free haircuts to the homeless in exchange for hugs for 25 years has been kicked out of a park by city health officials.

3. I think that it was the original story that might have lead to this.

The Chamber of Commerce may have seen it and started to look into it. Seeing it as a business killer, they got the City to move.

Sadly, it happens all the time.
