People never learn…
Will Ridgewood Police Department now step up drunk driving checks around the CBD with this new bar? How about a breathalyzer test at the valet stations or is that biting the hand that feeds you? Will the hypocrisy ever end from garage lovers Jeff and Ramon? When will the village put taxpayers’ safety and well being first in and around the CBD? Adding more traffic every year to the worst intersections in the village seems to be their plan. Must be part of Ramon’s Stepping Stones.

Rooftop bars are usually in places where one can see something. Mt. Carmel is across the street and the new garage will be to the other side. What will the rooftop bar do while the garage is under construction?
