Support late night food in Davis Square

[olszowka.livejournal.com]

I moved to Somerville 21 years ago and since that time appreciated the fact that the Golden Light restaurant was nearby and offered food late at night (1-2 am) when most of the Boston area closed down at 10pm.  I grew up in the Buffalo, NY area and there bar closing time is 4am and most popular bars have a restaurant nearby where the late night clientele go for a bite AFTER the bar closes.

Despite the fact that Golden Light has been keeping these hours for decades and has a huge sign in their storefront stating they stay open the latest in town, the Somerville Board of Aldermen has recently decided their license allows them to remain open only until midnight on weekdays and 1am on weekends.

If you want to tell these Puritans to stop trying to run our life, please support this restaurant's bid to remain open later.  You can sign a petition at the restaurant or come to a meeting at city hall, 93 Highland Ave., at 6:00pm, January  15, 2009.

Yes, virtually all of them do. No one municipality wants to be the town that everyone can go to to buy liquor when the other cities in the area stop. It was a big deal recently when Cambridge finally repealed its ban on restaurants serving alcohol on the sidewalks in front of their establishments.
