[quote="Not Really"][quote="Guest"]...This is a commercial zone -- the whole point is to encourage businesses, right? [/quote] The Blue Rooster isn't in a "commercial zone". If you recall, they rezoned a residential property into commercial. It is smack in the middle of a residential area. Teddy's and Cranbury Pizza are further down Main street where most of the later night businesses exist. Although, I wouldn't even include Teddy's in this group, since they close earlier than the 8pm time that the Blue Rooster is requesting. I encourage their business, but not at the expense of my quality of life. They knew the "rules" of Main Street before they opened up and should be expected to abide by them. If they wanted to stay open later to serve dinner, they should have considered that in the very beginning.[/quote]
