The Station's next stop, back to the alcohol board

Ethan Edwards' vision for a high-end liquor store in East Memphis — one that goes far beyond shelves of wine and spirits — has been stalled for more than a year. The Station is currently open but court rulings, denied licenses and a bitter legal fight with nearby competitors have kept the business from selling liquor. Today, Edwards is trying again. The Station is headed back to the City of Memphis' Alcohol Commission at 9 a.m. this morning, and Edwards' hope is that he'll be granted a license today.
