I'm appalled at Hawthorne parents attempt to deny Taproom a full liquor license. Taproom already
serves beer/wine, does it really make a difference if they can serve hard alcohol also. I don't think so. I
have two girls who attend Hawthorne and have no problem having a restaurant/bar with full liquor
license across the street. Most of the danger that comes from drinking alcohol happens when kids are
out of school anyway. How many people are going to be drinking hard alcohol during school hours. Very
few. I'd also like to point out that there is a police/fire station kitty-corner to the Taproom. I highly
doubt any trouble will arise from midday drinking. There's also another bar (Poorhouse) with full liquor
license 50 ft west of Taproom. I've eaten at the Taproom twice during school hours and it's mostly
people getting food and a beer. Not something I'm worried about in terms of safety for my two kids. I've
never seen a student while eating at Taproom during school hours as the playground is on opposite side
of school. I feel like this petition to block Taproom is a once living big city liberal left feminist movement
to micro manage every aspect of their children's safety from overprotective parents. Basically it's a joke
and big waste of time from parents who have nothing better to do with their boring lives. I fully support
the full liquor license of the Taproom and I'm confident I won't be the only one who supports Taproom.
I have no ownership in Taproom nor do I know the owner. Just a customer who doesn't see a difference
between beer/wine and hard alcohol. They all do the same thing and I doubt the Taproom will attract
the midday drinking crowd especially since the police station is next door.
Thank you for reading,
Gregory and Mindy Millichap
