View submission: "Tequila Town" Restaurant Name Sparks Controversy within Esko Community
TL;DR I hate clickbait and It's not just the sign itself. A MN liquor license can't be given to any business within X feet of a school and Tequila Town is right across the street from Esko schools.
Certain exceptions have been made in the past (sometimes small towns just have everything in that close of proximity), but then there's caveats like, "No big signs advertising alcohol that uhhh... face a school." So the town doesn't love a Tequila Town sign facing the school, which it didn't even care about before *except* now that the business would like to obtain a liquor license.
