Delaware Liberal

(Late) Friday Open Thread [5.1.15]

Happy May Day! To commemorate this day of Freedom Keepers everywhere (the real ones, not the fake teajhadi ones), take a listen to a new verse of the Internationale written and sung by the incomparable Billy Bragg:

And what the heck is going on in Rehoboth Beach? Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats has plans to revitalize their space and the zoning board in Rehoboth turned down their variance. Because they would invite too many people to that part of downtown Rehoboth, even though the plans call for fewer restaurant seats than they have now. And one of the Zoning Board members invited Dogfish Head to move to another town. That’s some economic development plan, right there. To be fair, I’ve never been to this venue, so maybe there are issues. But I can’t imagine a town asking Dogfish Head to just leave.

Board member Clif Hilderley was skeptical of the plan, saying it was strictly based on economic factors.

“You want to expand downtown where it is already crowded?” he asked.

Hilderley said Dogfish should look outside of town if they want to expand as much as they are asking for.

“It’s not a place to expand a restaurant,” he said.

“This isn’t to get more people in the building. This is to make a better experience,” Benz replied.

So who knows what is going on here?

The speculation on what is going on with Beau Biden has reached the pages of dKos. The short story is that they don’t know, either.
