Not so fast.
Disclosure. I got a letter to go down to the meeting and speak in support. I'm not at all against having a new serious music venue for alternative performance, since we've lost so many. I really did not know enough about the plans to show up in support. Having that over a sports bar? Sure.
There's so much nonsense coming from the opposition to all bars in the neighborhood that denies the reality of what's happening here. Building owners charge so much that the only businesses that can make enough are bars. People can't stand the noise on the weekends from all these bars, but when they are denied a license, absolutely nothing ever fills the empty space. (Although this particular case is quite different.)
Why are the owners never mentioned or engaged in a solution to the broader issue at hand?
How about one of those nice combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell stores instead? That might be good for residents.
ReplyDeleteWell, Phil already has the pizza half a block up. Tacos are available at the stand on the corner below, across the street.
