She then purchased a TDOZ approved property on Ager Road in 2004 intending to once again open a new Chitlin Market. Despite careful and thoughtful renovations of a run down property, harassment started immediately with warning letters, excessive and repeated inspections, code enforcers questioning permits already issued - Shauna had one enforcement officer arrive during a Chitlin Festival who questioned her permit after she showed it to him and he said to Shauna: "They told me they were not going to give it to you."
In the last year Shauna has incurred thousands of dollars in personal property vandalism with a screwdriver through her truck radiator, tires slashed on both her truck and trailer and she received water bills in excess of $1,800.00 that were usually $60.00. After protesting the bill Shauna then received an excessive water bill at her residence. She then received a tax inquiry from the Maryland State Dept of Assessments requesting Corporate Tax Copies for Audit purposes. Shauna taught Corporate tax statistics at the IRS for over a decade.
She has recently been followed in her car, had her car towed illegally and she is now fearful for her safety. Recently a city official voiced his objection to the smell that would be omitted from Shauna's restaurant, even though she had has never once received a complaint about odors. She had inspectors at her property on several occasions threatening to tow her Chitlin Mobile Unit after it had sat on the street for 48 hours. When she questioned why the Taco Trucks directly across the street sat for weeks on end without question - there was no answer.
In April of this year PG County officials revealed their true feelings regarding the opening of a Chitlin restaurant in their community. After an episode of ABC's Commander in Chief ran portraying PG County as overridden with crime with a scene of the fictional President exiting her car in front of a Chitlin and Pork Chop restaurant, Peter Shapiro responded to the Washington Post in outrage regarding the portrayal of the community and that a Chitlin restaurant is a negative stereotype - and that prompted Shauna to realize how they felt about her business. Shauna Anderson wants to know what they are doing about the crime rate in this community and why they aren't protecting children and putting resources into crime prevention instead of trying to run a small business out of town.
