In a 3Y/2N vote, the LRB (License Review Board) recommended approval for a wine and beer license at the proposed 24-hour service station and convenience store in at the northwest corner of Ansley Park (formerly the Shell station). 

 

The prospect of a retailer selling cash and carry beer and wine in the middle of the night next to our homes raises concerns about increased crime and other trouble coming to Sherwood Forest's doorstep. We want the applicant to agree to shut down operations altogether between midnight and 6 a.m. every morning, in addition to granting us lighting, site plan and other considerations. Thank you for your support.

NO WAY. We live right down the street and this will just bring more shady people into our area at night. BAD IDEA.

Just cut the lights and lock the doors by 12. Seems pretty simple to me.

This is ridiculous. Who even needs beer at that hour? Keep the neighborhood safe and close it down at midnight.

I moved here because it was quiet. Allowing late night alcohol sales is just asking for trouble and police sirens all night.

The board really messed up here. Nobody wants a 24hr liquor store in a residential zone. Fix this asap.

We already have enough noise and trash on this corner. People shouldn't be buying booze at 3am right next to family homes.
