3% of the registered voters will vote today. That is the prediction from election officials. Good thing we fought for the right to vote . Otherwise we would have to set at home and complain about government doing a poor job, being corrupt and inept . Oh Wait ! That's what 97% of you are doing right now. Go Vote.
Kroger wants to sell beer and wine in the front yard of Alex W Spence School and the Dallas Light House for the Blind. Good thing Kroger is a good corporate neighbor and is a good source of political contributions. Kroger wants the Dallas City Council, that means Angela Hunt, to give them a variance to sell beer and wine at the old Lowes Movie Theatre site. The state law is that you can not do that if you are within 300 feet of a school. The City Council can give a variance much like they have for William B Travis School on Mc Kinney Ave. Which was and is a bad idea. A taco joint will be doing that very soon and they are less than 100 feet from William B Travis.
My opinion is no. There are more than enough places on Mc Kinney Ave to buy beer and wine . Kroger will not add to the selection or price of either. If they to build a store there then they should have to abide by the rules . With 2 Kroger stores nearby my thought would be that one of them would be closed. My bet would be the Cedar Springs store. Why not build this store where they planned . On Live Oak and Good Latimer where it would do Old East Dallas and Downtown Dallas a lot of good.
just my opinion
