Do fences make good neighbors? A restaurant owner would say, "No."

PINEVILLE, La. (KALB) - A fence put up between Pelican Seafood & Poboy and a parking lot the Heart of Worship church in Pineville claims it owns off of Highway 28 East has caused grief for the restaurant’s owner, Brian Wu.

“It has already blocked the entire parking lot and drive thru way,” said Wu. “The customers are unable to go through the drive thru and we only have one entrance without an exit. This is impossible for business, we have lost so many customers, we cannot survive in this situation.”

The fence, marked with no trespassing signs, means customers at the restaurant only have limited parking in front of the restaurant. The fence also blocks the drive thru and wheelchair accessible entrance.

Oops, we are sorry.

The mud- and rust-encrusted guns were discovered by accident. A dredge scooping sediment from the riverbed last year as part of a $973 million deepening of Savannah’s busy shipping channel surfaced with one the cannons clasped in its metal jaws. The crew soon dug up two more.
