They're Trying to Close Graham Central Station?

I hadn't heard about this...just came across it. This is from www.sanewspaper.com:

This establishment, Graham Central Station, has been under investigation by the San Antonio Police Department (S.A.P.D.) and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (T.A.B.C.). Graham Central Station’s liquor license will be under review in April, 2006.

Today there are representatives here such as school board candidates, representatives of neighborhood associations, businessmen, members of the clergy/pastors, community leaders and future public officials. We are taking a stand for the protection of our youth and the preservation of wholesome family life.

Today, we are demanding as residents of District 7 and leaders in this city, that Graham Central Station be closed. Graham Central Station has a history of very destructive influence in our community such as shootings, murder, prostitution, consumption of alcohol by minors, public drunkenness, and other violations.

As community leaders in San Antonio, we want to put a stop to this lawlessness. Furthermore, we will not tolerate any further delays, “deal-makings,” postponements or compromises of any kind.

Today we come together in one accord by writing letters of protest and signing petitions to close Graham Central Station in April 2006.
