Wards Corner Now – Wards Corner, Norfolk, Virginia

On Monday night, WardsCornerNow.com received the following email from Tim Smith, a past President of the Talbot Park Civic League:

Well this one slipped right by…

 

How can the city even entertain allowing someone to fill out a permit to sell alcohol right across from Granby High School. Talbot Park does not need anyone selling alcohol in it’s neighborhood.

 

If the Masonic Temple is allowed to get a permit to sell alcohol then a precedent will be set and there will be no stopping the decline of Talbot Park. That is all we need is a drinking establishment in Talbot Park. Drunk driving, peeing in the bushes in your yards,  trash in your yards, loud music, loud cars racing up and down our streets and don’t forget the gun play we have all read about in our local bar parking lots.

 

Good one Norfolk, this one should look real good on Norfolk’s plan to get people to move here. It should play out real good in the papers also.

 

I’ll be there for the public hearing, I just hope I’m not alone.
