Residents picking sides over upcoming Lula liquor referendum
1027LULA7
At The Tracks restaurant server Ashley Chandler enters food orders into the computer Wednesday afternoon at the downtown Lula eatery. The owners of At The Tracks are interested in serving beer and wine at some point, so they plan to pay attention to a Nov. 8 ballot question on liquor by the drink. Technically, the vote doesn’t cover beer and wine sales, as voter approval isn’t needed to allow them. However, they could be part a comprehensive alcoholic beverages ordinance that would need to be crafted if the city wants to enact voter-approved liquor by the drink.
Kim Johnson isn’t interested in putting a bar in her newly opened restaurant off Main Street in Lula — nor does she really have the room for it. But because she and husband Bruce Johnson of At The Tracks are interested in serving beer and wine at some point, they plan to pay attention to a Nov. 8 ballot question on liquor by the drink. Specifically, the referendum asks voters in the northeast Hall city if they’re OK with restaurants and other establishments selling liquor.
