Union Hall Meeting: The Video
Here’s a video we shot after CB6’s land-use/landmarks committee made a motion to recommend that the State Liquor Authority deny Union Hall’s liquor license renewal. The first speaker is Lou Sones, who introduced the motion. The second speaker, another committee member, talks about his misgivings over the motion. Community Board Moving to Nuke Union Hall…

Thanks Gabby!

Could you elaborate, 4:03?
Worked fine for me, and while I’m on the subject, I had a hard time getting what I saw with my own eyes to jibe with the earlier (other thread) descriptions of Sones’ behavior.
Gabby, for some reason I can’t view the video (I’ve had no problems with other videos on this blog). Has anyone else had problems with this one?
Does anyone have the address of the people pictured on gothamist?
Publish the info!!
“Sones just pretty much ensured that anyone who frequents both his place and either Floyd, Last Exit, Magnetic Field, will lose his business. That’s a pretty tight knit group of bargoers who know each other and who chatter and the chatter right now is, they’ll never go back there under any circumstances.”
You are absolutely right about this, 1:17. As a patron of all those establishments, I can assure you that word will get out and it travels fast. The Brazen Head is going to be loud this summer, all right…loud with the sound of crickets chirping.
Here they are if you want to see their faces:

I’ll comment on them later after this thread really gets going!!!!
Yeah, if I were the neighbors right now, I’d be trying to play nice with Union Hall. It’s a place that will exist there for a very long time. Even if they don’t drink (and they act like they don’t), they should recognize it for the culturally rich impact it’s made on Park Slope. Arguably, more than any other venue/performance space in the history of Park Slope!
Otherwise, I’d bet you could find some budding yuppies from Manhattan who would LOVE to be neighbors with Union Hall, should they want to sell their cherished Brownstones and move to the country.
