Really? Sounds more like St. Andrews has just found a way to make money selling all that beer and wine they are no longer allowed to sell. Everything must Go!! And knowing Julius he will probably charge a healthy  minimum "donation" at the door. Fundraiser?! Really?

And the interior needs a lot of help. In this city, possessing a liquor license is like having a license to print money...you guard it zealously. To let it lapse is suicide.
