A liquor store, which was planned to be built next to the Kipp Voice Academy, a local school, will not be built. Instead, the community will have a new Brentwood community center in its place. This decision is expected to be welcomed by many.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An expected victory may be on the horizon for Jacksonville’s Brentwood community, as a highly controversial liquor store planned to be put right next to a local school, the Kipp Voice Academy, is set to be replaced with a Brentwood community center.“We were out here all summer long in 95-degree temperatures fighting against that liquor store,” Lydia Bell recalled for Action News Jax on Sunday.

“It was a very good victory because like I said, we were looking to protect the children,” explained Bell. “Alcohol and children do not go together.”“What they gonna do? We can expect Casper the Friendly Ghost to come and have tea and coffee with us?” Bell exclaimed. “No one in their right mind would want a 300-body morgue in their neighborhood ... we’re at war.”
