Chelsea’s gets its liquor license back

May 5th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Louisiana (Where I'm From)

Chelsea’s Cafe will get its liquor license back after a district court judge found that the owner of the Perkins Road establishment was deprived due process. District Judge Trudy White says that the state office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control had no right to take away owner David Remmetter’s liquor license two weeks ago, before a hearing could be held. The move means Chelsea’s will have its license back within 72 hours. The establishment will hold on to the license until a trial can be held. The date for a trial will be set after Remmetter’s attorney Brandon Brown turns in a copy of White’s judgment; he has 72 hours. There has been a dispute between the ATC and Chelsea’s over the zoning status. The ATC says Remmetter is illegally operating a bar because he sells more alcohol than food. Remmetter charges that food sales account for 61% of his business.

Musicians Mark a Jazzfest Anniversary on an Easygoing Thursday – ArtsBeat Blog – NYTimes.com

NEW ORLEANS — Another year, another New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and another anniversary — the 40th — for this euphorically site-specific cultural guardian. I’m here for the second four-day “weekend” of Jazzfest, and I’ve been blinking in the sunlight after the wee-hours club marathon of the Ponderosa Stomp.

True to the New Orleans traditions that it collects and promotes — and that have long since added Jazzfest to their calendar of annual rituals — the festival makes only incremental changes from year to year. Even in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, when the festival’s longtime site, the Fair Grounds Race Course, needed extensive repairs (including restoring its electrical system), it simulated its old familiarity; the Vaucresson Sausage Company sandwich stand was in its regular place, though its New Orleans factory had been destroyed.
