I got cut off because I had an appointment come in. I meant to say that Jack Patricks (10th and Olive) is named after the owner's nephew. One of my favorite places to hang out and it's open late. Thank Jeff 707
Next door to Quizno's and around the corner from Subway?
Its becoming a Sub district.
Good news.

No, a video production company is taking the upper floors.

Here is an update on the Gill Building. The video company moved in to the upper 3 floors. Lenny's dropped a bomb shell on the owners of the Gill Building and decide to break their lease. So what's going to happen now. Well it turns out that Dirt Cheap liqours has come to the rescue.

Dirt Cheap? Seriously? Now that would really be a big steaming pile of Not Good for this location.
Not sure what this means exactly, but keep in mind the "Dirt Cheap Liquor" folks also own Teutenberg's across the street.
Who cares what becomes a tenant in the Gill. Were lucky the building still stands.
The DC at 44 and Hampton doesn't sell Liquor. If residents didn't want Liquor they could do the same here.

I'd be okay with Dirt Cheap. A nice, convenient spot for Illinois folks to pump money into the Missouri economy.

I don't really care about Dirt Cheap. It's not a classy business, but it's a business nontetheless. At least someone will be using the space.
No lease has been signed as of last Friday. There are still several options for this location that Mark P and gang are working on currently. During the All Star game there is going to be a great installation of interactive screens set up in the storefronts of this building. InBev is sponsoring it. Make sure to check it out.

I don't mind if they sell beer or liquor, as long as they don't sell 40 oz cans of Busch or Boones Farm or Mad Dog. That's what will draw the bums.

A Dirt Cheap might be one of the few businesses located downtown that would be successful in this economy. In addition they would probably be open longer hours than many other downtown businesses presently are bringing life on evenings and weekends to a pretty deserted part of the area.

That's my concern. I'm not opposed to a downtown Dirt Cheap location per se, I'm just concerned about the merchandise mix and the people it may attract.

Talk about elitism and gentrification....sheesh! Spoken like true suburban transplants (I can only assume). All downtown residents should only be the type of people who buy wine from Copia or someplace like that? I for one have a darned hard time finding a place to buy any liquor ( whether it's Dom, Busch, MD20/20...whatever) after 6pm. How judgmental can you be? Bussone's is great and manages to control any riff raff...they just close too early. I assume Dirt Cheap knows how to manage their stores...anything has to be better than that hell hole 7Eleven. In my opinion it's not the customers who make that 7Eleven crappy...it's the management and mostly rude employees. Personally, I could care less what the guy in front of me is buying...and it's really none of my business.Sorry for the snotty tone....but sheesh!! Never realized I was being watched and judged at check out counters to see what "merchandise mix" I might be buying. Now I'm going to be paranoid every time I try to spend money in my own neighborhood. Should we have a check list for anyone moving downtown? Do you approve of their clothes? Hair? Job? etc.?

They are talking about the homeless who buy 40 oz cans of alcohol with change they harassed tourists for, drank it, threw the can in the street, peed in a parking garage, bathed in a fountain, slept on a park bench, only to wake up and ask more tourists for change.
They are not talking about people who drink liquor or beer.
This already happened in another thread, where you spouted off something stupid immediately without putting any thought in beforehand. IDEA: Type your post, save it to Notepad, wait 24 hours and read others' comments and try and comprehend what the original post you are responding to said, then when you see it isn't fit for the conversation, close Notepad and do not save.

Saying people shouldn't sell or be able to buy certain products because they will attract undesirables is in my opinion controlling, limiting and judgmental. Telling people how and what to post on a forum is also controlling, limiting and judgmental. I guess I hit a soft spot because you seem to be one of the judgers I was talking about. I am a business owner and I'll be damned if I allowed anyone to tell me what I can or can't sell. It's not the merchandise that brings in "Bums", it's not the shop owners. The shop owner can refuse to sell to someone if the customers are causing problems. And you can refuse to give anyone money to buy that certain "merchandise mix." Plus, you are filled with contradictions...you say "they" are not talking about people who drink beer or liquor but you also say "they" are talking about people who buy liquor with change they bummed...what makes them bum for change or pee for that matter? Sometimes beer and liquor!
And please don't call my opinions/spouts stupid Juice. I don't think I really deserve that. If I'm not welcome to post on this site fine, let me know. I will then run my business and actively try to make downtown a better place to live without Urbanstl and your opinions and spouts. All while sipping on a cold 40 oz. Busch, purchased from a store of my choice who is free to sell what they want....

Please, calm down.
Did you read the part where I said that generally speaking I have no problem with Dirt Cheap locating here before you went on your tirade?
I will admit I was initially concerned about the possibility of Dirt Cheap opening a store in this location because of the types of behavior Central and Juice mentioned. And it's not at all uncommon for the sale of specific containers of alcohol to be restricted as this is a concern in many settings, not just downtown St. Louis. As long as the city gives proper thought and scrutiny to the licensing process and takes nearby residents' and businesses' concerns into account, fine. And based on other Dirt Cheap locations I have every reason to believe this potential location would be well managed.
I don't know where to begin with the wildly incorrect assumptions you've made about me and my values, so I won't even waste my time.
