Things That Make You Go Hmmmmmm
Is there trouble right here in River City?
The Mayor is cracking down on the bars on Main Street. She especially wants to get rid of the Main Street Bistro and Lloyd and Harry's. There are no more licenses available on North Main Street for bars. They have reached their limit. If you want a liquor license on North Main now you must have 50 percent of your income from food. I have noticed she has her building on North Main for lease. I wonder if maybe someone wants to lease her building and put in a bar? Do you really believe she would do that?
We don’t condone underage drinking or urinating in public but these matters are being handled adequately by our fine police department. But She is concerned with girls dancing on the bars and $1 beers. Mayor, it doesn’t matter what the bars charge for their beers or if then even give them away, the bar owners still have to pay Adolphus IV the same amount. If you really want to turn North Main into a desolate area after dark like South Main you might consider not having any liquor establishments on Main Street at all. But no, Adolphus IV would never allow you to do that. If he had been close to you when you barred brats and beer from the Fourth of July Riverfest he would have stopped you.
I wonder what happened to the entertainment district on North Main the Mayor has been planning for those who attend conventions in St Charles?
It can’t be that the Mayor just hates bars on North Main.. Maybe they are okay for her special interests. Rich Andrews Pub on Mexico road recently changed hands. A special closed session City Council meeting was held last Monday evening to discuss legal matters. During the session the Mayor presented a liquor license application for approval for the new owners of Rich Andrews. Normally an applicant would have to wait for approval at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting. That is unless.... Our interest was peeked so we delved in the special treatment someone was being afforded. The registered agent for the LLC taking over the pub is Daniel Barklage our municipal judge. He is also listed on the documents in the office of the Missouri Secretary of State as the organizer. Since the City does not pay enough for a full time Judge, Judge Barklage has every right to represent clients such as this. With the many arrests being made at the bars on Main Street don’t you think Judge Barklage should recuse himself from hearing any of those cases. Hmmmmmmmmm
