Mission Bans

A ban lingering from 1996 prohibits any new central Mission business from getting a liquor license unless it's a full-service restaurant—a big problem for Local Mission Eatery offshoot Local Mission Market, which would like to provide "everything you need, including wine." Chron notes some spots, like Mission Bowling Club, have negotiated exceptions, but that's "not a way to do policy." [Chron]
