I thought those liquor stores located in impoverished residential
neighborhoods were the target.
I didn't know CV was impoverished.

I was afraid that the Schnapp Shoppe might be one of the group. It's much more
than a liquor store, very convenient, and quite well run. I would advocate for
keeping it as a long-standing asset to Charles Village. The owners are
responsive to their customers (more so than the liquor store on St. Paul).
When I've requested a particular item, the Schnapp Shoppe has gotten it in.
On my way walking home from work, I can stop there for milk, a can of beans, or
other necessities. Yes, they sell liquor, but I consider them a convenience
store.
When I attended a meeting about the new zoning plan, they emphasized that a
goal was mixed use, so 1st-floor stores and apartments above would be
encouraged. The idea supposedly is to create a good environment for urban
living (for people without cars), with a dynamic streetscape that does not
separate residences and businesses serving residents. To my mind, the Schnapp
Shoppe answers that goal and should remain as it is.

It means that, if the Schnapp Shop didn't exist and a new store at that
location tried to get a liquor license, it wouldn't be granted. But the
existing store was grandfathered in because it acquired a liquor license before
the current laws went into effect (in the '70s, I believe. The law probably
doesn't allow liquor stores in completely residential areas like the Schnapp
Shop anymore.
I don't think the closures are a done deal -- there will probably be public
hearings about it, if you're interested.

The 'Patch' listed the Schnapp shop as one of the liquor stores to be sold. The
schnapp shop is older than me. It has been part of this community soo long.
What gives. What does' non-conforming class a license mean?
