New Liquor Store?

Bloomingdale says we're getting a brand spanking new liquor store at 6th and Rhode Island. Hey, isn't there a small park across the way? Park + Liquor Store= Headache.

There will be a lot of interest in the surrounding blocks either way, so any info you have would be great.

Retailer's License Class A:
(Liquor store) Retail sale of beer, wine, and spirits for off premises consumption.

ABC License Retailer's License Class B (Grocery/convenience store): Retail sale of beer and wine for off premises consumption.

ABC License Retailer's License Class C: Retail sale of beer, wine, and spirits for on premises consumption.

it may be a restaurant.

owners are debating.

either way, it's better than what there is there now.

trust me, it'll be clean, and help develop the 'hood'. the owners have been in 'upper georgetown' for years, and aren't about to slum the area.

methinks you'll be surprised...

if they go that way, instead of a restaurant (which they are thinking about), it'll be a great addition to the hood.

thanks,
