Dear politicans,

If the new convention center is so great and a wonderful success, why is the 1,800 sqft 1st floor condo which is occupied by Modern Liquor(9th and M) for sale for $300,000. including the inventory(booze and Utz)?

Dear "Taxpayer,"

Thank you for your concern, but it is unwarranted.

Yes, Modern Liquors--the business-- is for sale...to myself. I am in the process of buying it from my mother-in-law, who is retiring, so there is no need to worry about the business closing due to the perceived failure of the new Convention Center. I have run it for the six years, and plan to continue doing so.

In the future, I suggest you do a little research before you blast email the city.

Cheers!
Jeff Harrison
