Just an FYI that the convenience store in the strip mall at South Lexington and Oak Ave Parkway has applied for a permit to sell hard liquor (they can only sell beer and wine now). The notice from the city (attached) just calls it a liquor store so it's not clear if they will convert the whole store or not. This will be discussed at the planning commission meeting on Wed, Dec 17 at 6:30pm. If you can’t attend the meeting, please call the project planner to voice your concerns. The city counts every call and it will be reported to the planning commission. The project planner is Lisbet Gullone, 916-355-7364, lgullone@folsom.ca.us.

Do you often post these notices or is it only in this case? Are you against this for some reason?

First time I've ever posted. Yes I'm against this. I live in Lexington Hills and don't want a liquor store around the corner from my house.

They sell beer and wine now. Bel Air is 1 minute away. You have to be 21 to buy so what's the issue? Being so close to Lakeside it will probably get rejected anyways.

What if you want some milk or a loaf of bread late at night? You could just walk around the corner and pick it up or send your kids around the corner to the store.

Be thankful it's only a liquor store. I have a liquor store, pub, bowling alley, AND a massage parlor within walking distance of my house. Horrors.

I'm curious though. If they already sold beer and wine, what's the difference if they add hard liquor?

I went in there once to buy some hot dog buns. They had one bag that was hard and moldy. It was about 3 months past the expiration date. I don't think they care much about the grocery side of the business. And if they get their permit, what's to stop them from converting the whole thing into just a liquor store. I'm sure for some folks it's a don't care, but it's not something I want to see in my neighborhood.

A lot of people drink liquor and if they do it responsibly I don't have a problem with it.

A VETERAN Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and including their life". That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -Author unknown-

Give the guy a break will ya. He and his wife work like 15 hours a day 7 days a week including most holidays. Plan ahead better if you want day fresh hot dog buns. And of course he can't compete with Bel Air because he is not a grocery store.

The city already busted him once because he had illegal signs up advertising beer. Yeah and illegal sign. Nice work meanwhile cops are stealing oil and hooking up with hookers. Geesh.
