It's a Kennedy!
Developer Patrick Kennedy, that is. He wants to use space in his Gaia building for a jazz club, in accordance with some agreement with the city that he'd provide space for cultural activites.
But City Councilmember Dona Spring is questioning if a for-profit, nightclub that serves alcohol really fulfills the agreement.
Before the zoning adjustments board approved a permit for the club, it had reservations over whether the club was “really what was meant by a cultural use,” Spring added.
Who wants to wager that she'd never even come close to raising the issue if it was anybody but Kennedy? Well, I guess jazz isn't culture. Sucks to be you, jazz fans. Or maybe it's the non-profit part that sticks in her wheelchair spokes. Because nothing cultural is for profit... well, except for just about everything cultural which occupies a building. Is it the alcohol? I should hope not. Alcohol is, after all, the staple of American culture.
