Downtown stuff
March 28th, 2010
I was taking a walk early in the morning so sorry for the bad picture, but if it were maybe 15 minutes later, you’d be able to see more clearly that the sign in the windows next to Wings says it there will be a liquor store coming soon called Southside Liquors. I think its a decent match for being next door to a wing place and it’s nice to see something finally going to occupy that space.
Also, Cafe Belo, which I recently posted had closed, apparently has opened again:
I hate to say it, but it’s kind of too bad. Only because I was looking forward to something different, I know Eb’s isn’t coming back but at this point even having it become a train station again, as some readers have suggested,  with a coffee shop in it would be nice and useful.
And also, the phone out side of the Memorial Building is out of order. It’s nice to see they’ve found a use for at least one of the cones that used to be on the crumbling steps!
 
I’m puzzled that a liquor store opened there. The very same site was proposed by an out of towner last year, who wanted to transfer the liquor license from a store on rte 30 near speen street. That store eventually went out of business because the transfer was denied by the selectman. What has changed the minds of the selectman? Sisisky stated it was to close to a church (St Tarcisous) and to close to a scool (Keefe). Well those buildings are still there but the license was granted using the very same liquor license that was denied. I would like to know who owns that lisence now.

EK, That’s interesting. I tried looking up permits online but didn’t find any yet issued. I’ll see if I can find out why now the locations of the church and school are no longer an issue.

Um because the right people were NOT paid off.

I will always remember this building as Ebenezers. The only memory I have of it is when I was very little my family went there and I got a hot dog.
