Vida Mexicana wants to open yet another liquor serving establishment at 251-253 Dyckman.<br />These are the stores that used to house Nostalgia and Brazen Lingerie.In addition, Williams Grocery is planning on opening a liquor store next to their grocery.On my way home from work, I counted five liquor serving establishments between Broadway and Seaman avenue(The Dyckaman Bar,Papasitos,Il Sole,Corcho, and Mama Sushi. If you add the new businesses that are planning on opening up between Seaman and Payson and Cafe Mamajuana, there would be eight liquor serving establishments between Broadway and Payson. This is not even counting La Marina( which is supposedly owned by vida Mexicana as well. These businesses are directly contributing to the deterioration of the quality of life in this neighborhood. On my way home last night at one thirty,the noise from the clubs,cars and motorcycles and club patrons could be heard as soon as I approached Beak and Payson. This is too much. Something needs to be done to put this corporations feet to the flame. I feel that these new establishments should not be allowed to open and the current ones should be forced to close by two thirty on Saturday evening and one thirty on Sunday evening. If there is a petition out there that is addressing the issues I discussed, I would gladly sign on the dotted line!Michael Carozzanoreply@blogger.com
