Shooting At Linden Bar And Liquors
Adam Meister - Baltimore Politics Examiner
A few months ago I wrote about how the liquor board ordered Linden Bar and Liquors to close. It never closed because of legal maneuverings by its lawyer. There is supposed to be an appeal hearing on September 23rd. Well last night there was a shooting there and the corner of Linden and North Avenue was blocked off by crime tape. Police cars were all over. The liquor board was right. The place is a nuisance and it all could have been avoided if the liquor board's ruling would have been followed. Stephan Fogleman was right (again).
