Fat Tuesday on Main just south of Madison is back open. It opened for one day last month – literally on Fat Tuesday – and has been closed since then. I still kinda question whether a daiquiri party bar is a good fit for a very residential part of the Downtown core.
Around the corner at 105 Madison, Downtown Wines & Spirits has made a huge improvement. Those of you who have been in there will remember three very steep steps. The second step, you had to navigate as you were pulling the door handle open. The third step was INSIDE the store and was easy to overlook, especially in the COVID-19 era when face masks obstructed vision. I wonder how many people tripped and fell. However, it’s been fixed now. All the steps have been moved outside and there is ample room to get to the top step before you open the door. Carl, my bad legs and I sincerely thank you.
