Whose Leg Do I Gotta Hump To Get A Liquor License?
“Who’s leg do I gotta hump to get a liquor license in this town?”
Mayor Stephen Reed’s, apparently.
Jason Bristol continues his beatdown of the National Sports Hall Of Fame Fiasco which has been nibbling away at tax dollars and charitable donations for about five years now.
His latest report (video below) indicates that a city-owned liquor license (obtained from the default of a loan made to the late Violets on Walnut) was given…given…for free to John Lavenda and the National Sports Hall of Fame.
A liquor license costs just over a hundred thousand dollars.
And man, I’d love to open a music venue someday- but know that the two biggest expenses would be the PA system and the liquor license.
But if my name were John Lavenda, I guess I wouldn’t need to worry about all of that.
That’s why Violet’s closed down?!?!?!!?!?!?! If I would have known that, I would have fought, fought, fought and FOUGHT! Violet’s was such a metropolitan place for the people of Harrisburg to enjoy.
