Charleston Board Rejects Application For Liquor Permit
WEST VIRGINIA....
Members of the Charleston Board of Zoning Appeal voted 3-1 Thursday morning to reject Willard Marshall Petty's application for a liquor permit to open the former Clo & Mahone's Lounge on Seventh Avenue. Former operators, Robert Mahone and Chlorine Carter, surrendered their liquor license in August 2004, days after Monty Henry, 21, and Brandon Edwards, 19, were gunned down in the club's parking lot. Police chief Brent Webster said the club had been a frequent source of trouble for police and neighbors, with fights that sometimes spilled out into the street, and Mayor Danny Jones and his administration are dead set against reopening the bar, saying they don't see how it serves any useful purpose for the neighborhood.
