City Council is set to consider re-zoning for the proposed nightclub in the Hobby Lobby shopping center. This will be second and third reading, so there will be no opportunity for public testimony.

Essentially, the request is for CS-1 zoning - which allows for liquor sales. The backup is here, and the hearing is set for 4pm on Thursday - though there's no guarantee as to council keeping to schedule.

Here's the posted agenda item:

There's a lot of buzz over Walk Score, the site that rates neighborhood walkability.  Using a Google-sitic algorithm, it first tallies the restaurants, coffee shops and other destinations near a given address and then gives them a numerical weight based on their distance from the address.  Neighborhoods with interior retail tend to score high; neighborhoods without interior retail tend to score low.
