Linden Bar and Liquors at the corner of North Avenue and Linden Avenue in Reservoir Hill has been a blight on the community for over 30 years. On April 17, 2008 after a two hour hearing the liquor board did not renew the license for this establishment.  The original license expires on April 30th so by May 1st the store should be shut down.  Now at the last minute the owner is attempting to delay and reverse the boards decision.  Here is an email I just received that will give you some insight in to what it takes to get rid of an establishment that is blatantly in violation of numerous liquor laws pertaining to public safety and illegal narcotics sales.  Feel free to show up at the courthouse located at 111 N. Calvert Street:

Hello All!  Just a half hour ago I had a conference call with Judge Cannon, Russell Neverdon (the liquor board appellate counsel) and Richard Bittner (attorney for the licensee) and there will be an emergency hearing in front of Judge Nance (not sure if that is his correct spelling) tomorrow morning at 11:30 am in Room 556 in the Circuit Court East Building to decide whether or not a stay should be granted to the licensee.  If granted, he would be permitted to remain open while he appeals the liquor board’s decision.  It is important that we show up and defend our position which is that we want this establishment closed as of May 1 per the Board’s decision.  If you can, please attend the hearing.
