"Waaa - Waaa - Waaa- we want an EXCLUSIVE drink yer booze outside license" says the Cordish Company- builder of the better-late-than-never entertainment center next door to the too-small Sprint Center.
"Bogus- Bogus- Bogus" cries the Westport area and other parts of town who'd like a "festival-area" liquor license.
I don't see how Cordish's "exclusivity" would prevail in a court of law seeing how the ordinance is written- thanks to Mark Forsythe over at The Kansas City Post blog.
This city gives chunks of "exclusive" privileges to monied-corporate interests- liquor licenses- TIF's- you name it. The rules seem to change daily to accommodate them.
It seems sometimes the city is punishing those businesses trying to conduct their affairs on the up-and-up (see also new anti-smoking ordinance).
Let Cordish sue! See if I patronize their so-called entertainment district.
