It includes guidelines restaurants will have to meet to apply for a liquor license. There are some guidelines already. We know to qualify, 50 percent of the restaurant’s sales have to come from prepared food. Also, restaurants will have to stop serving the alcohol by 11 p.m.

oops my bad, me thinks “after the year 1939” would be the message I was trying to convey. Back to topic, I am anticipating roads full of blue lights in the near future for Flowood.
This was a very wise move, especially considering all the speed traps that have been newly set in place around Flowood over the last month. 25 miles an hour I am talking here folks. Get in your car and see how well you can handle that, if you were born before the year 1939. Now imagine if you do take that beer with your pizza in Flowood. Some serious big jack is fixin to start pouring in. Me and my tires, and my car tag thank you.
