He don't have a liquor licenses. He is the front man for the restaurant. He has the look of of some one grantfather, yes I would buy a pizza from this man.
Maybe a beer from the owner.

Does that mean the waitresses have a liquor license because they work there, too? I don't know much about his past other than he had a gambling conviction. Office pools, poker games and such, are all illegal. Big deal. He is a nice man and the food and service there are fantastic. Some people do reform and do deserve a second chance.

The name on the liquor license is Linda Scavo, Vito Scavo's wife.

The article clearly says he is a two-time convicted felon....so it would seem that he already got a second chance. Maybe the place should be named after him like the football field was named after another two-time convicted felon....makes sense to me.

You always always know that if Serpico supports him he has to be scum. We all know that!

What has a liq license got to do with being a bookie? I did know that liq licenses specifically restricted convicted felons, after they did their time, from having a liq. license. Silly me - it's just a liq license so the guy can run a honest business.

Correction - Meant to submit the following:

What has a liq license got to do with being a bookie? I did NOT know that liq license issuance was specifically restricted against convicted felons, after they did their time and paid their dues. Silly me - but it's just a liq license so the guy can run an honest business.

Why do you people talk about Babe Serpico? Did you know him? has anyone in your family ever done anything wrong? do you even live in melrose park? just remember that all this stuff can be traced back to where it comes from.. It is too bad you have nothing to do with your time except talk about people whom you never even met before. If you asked anyone from the village about Babe they would tell you he was a good man.. No matter what you say it does not make a difference anyway.. If his grandson's ever found out who you were you would be looking over your shoulder.. I know them. THEY DON'T PLAY THAT.. They have nothing to do with the village or politics.. BUT THAT IS A PERSONAL ATTACK... BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.. IT MAY COME BACK TO GET YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT..

Well thats a good start at least you are admitting you are animal scum. You do things the Melrose way. Threaten, use police and building inspectors to do your dirty work. But actually I'm sue you're a big p@ssy ike the rest of them who allways has to cry for help because you're not man enough to do it by yourself. Oh yeah say Serpico's a great guy and then threaten. You're a j@rkoff and a p@ssy and he is too.

My issue is with losers like you that yes do threaten people. I lived in Melrose for a long time and some of my goomba neighbors just couldn't stay out of my business for anything. They would have their kids vandalize my property and then would call the village to complain about it. Don't act superior because you live in Melrose. It just makes you a joke.

The real joke is the fact you live in Melrose and can't take pride in your choice. What does that make you?

Daily Horoscope for June 1

Libra

Feeling impatient? There's a lot you want to achieve this morning, so don't hang around. Venus is working for you, so get as much done as possible, because later in the day the Moon slinks into Scorpio, and you won't be very pleased if things get in your way. If you're faced with a logistics problem, the best way to solve it may be to throw money at it, but only if you've got the funds to begin with.
