University Park Alcohol Changes, One Year Later

So it’s now been one year since University Park voters overwhelmingly approved sweeping changes to the city’s alcohol laws.

In today’s paper, we chatted with a few businessy folks this affected, but didn’t talk to any average Joes on the street. Here’s your chance.

Good, bad, indifferent? Happy to grab a six-pack on your way home? Think the city’s slouching towards Gomorrah? Spill it.

    When I need some wine, it’s nice not to have to think about which store sells it. And we can use every extra penny in collected taxes.

    I remember last year when some of the posters on this board argued vehemently against alcohol sales in UP. Such a non issue.

    The strip clubs, bars, and general debauchery that this change has brought to our community is outrageo…what’s that you say? Oh. You mean not one single item of “worry” used in the scare tactic mailers has come true?

    The change is phenomenal, makes my life easier, and I would love to hear how this affected Buddy’s biz over at Bandito’s after his well thought out commentary on the posts last year.

    Biggest thing all that brought out was how untrustworthy and downright corrupt (forged faxes, etc.) the UP city government is. But the Community League will always ensure that their puppets will never be defeated.

    I’m bitterly disappointed at the lack of any noticeable change.

    @Gringo Bling: “I remember last year when some of the posters on this board argued vehemently against alcohol sales in UP. Such a non issue.”

    Judging from the vote tally, those posters weren’t real people. They were probably just internet sock puppets of the PR firm working for Dick Davis and the rest of the “anti” gang. (In fairness to Mayor Davis, I doubt he himself was one of the posters. Merritt Patterson proved that he can’t operate a fax machine, so it’s unlikely that he could successfully operate a computer.)
