The Duluth Lakeside liquor ban has been in effect since 1893.  There was a vote to eliminate the ban in 2008, but it was defeated by just one vote.  Now, with the Lester Park Golf Course struggling, conversations have begun to allow them to be exempt from the ban.

While I don't live in Lakeside, I'm amazed the ban has lasted this long.  While I wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood fully of bars, I would miss living close to a place where I can have a beer with my pizza.  I also believe that the Lester Park Golf Course would benefit tremendously if they were allowed to sell alcohol.

What are your thoughts on the Lakeside alcohol ban?
