HouStoned Rocks reports that the owner of a Richmond music bar is shuttering the place in anticipation of the coming light rail fun:
Proletariat owner Denise Ramos emailed the Press this morning with a statement that she is closing the popular local venue in February due to Metro’s plans to build a light-rail line on Richmond Avenue, which the local transportation agency has said will be completed by 2012. “I truly feel that this whole light-rail issue is going to get very messy, and I have no interest in spending any of my energy or my staff’s time in dealing with that,” says Ramos, who plans to close the club February 3.
Obviously, Denise Ramos does not read the Chronicle or METRO’s blog, or she would have seen the multiple press releases stories describing how METRO’s new construction “storefronts” will mitigate any such problems!
