Evening everyone,
Just to bring everyone up to date on a local issue. As most of you
know Giorgiana's has applied to add alcohol sales to their current
beer and wine offerings. They have been talking to customers and
gaining support and gathering signatures form those who support the
license. Those who have signed are Giorgiana's customers, and most
of them live in Eight Streets NA or on abutting streets.
Giorgiana's will also be signing an agreement with the neighborhood
to prohibit the sale of nips and singles, and to guarantee that
'convenience store' will remain the core of their business.
Eight Streets sees no reason to oppose the request. Liquor will be
a very small part of their offerings. They will have a limited
selection of high end liquors, most in quart sizes (no pints or
smaller). Beer and wine will still dominate their downstairs liquor
sales. They will be signing the agreement mentioned above. The city
has also asked that the downstairs be staffed, which Giorgiana's has
agreed to. You will find the same great food and supplies upstairs
on the main floor - there will be no change there; they will remain
our local grocery/convenience store.
For those who haven't had a chance to hear the business proposal, we
will have a final meeting on the issue Tuesday, September 15th at 7pm.
We'll meet downstairs in Giorgiana's, so they can show us what their
plans are for re-organizing downstairs to include the liquor sales.
They will also be presenting over 200 signatures in support of their
proposition. (we should have room for everyone down stairs...)
I hope to see some of you tomorrow night. You can also reply with
any comments if you can't make the meeting and haven't written to the
city.
