Shady's Bar in Albany continues with take-out only

I spoke in person with Shady's Bar owner Kris Schiffler in Albany this afternoon.

He had a huge crowd of supporters gathered at his bar location in downtown Albany. At the last minute, at the behest of his attorney, they are continuing with just take-out orders. They did not open to in-person dining.

The crowd was enormous, and everyone was extremely happy. It was the happiest scene I have been around since March 12, when I took in a basketball game at the Minnesota state tournament in Minneapolis.

Here's video from downtown Albany today:


As it turns out, Attorney General Keith Ellison was premature in filing his restraining order. He did not even consult with Schiffler's attorney before filing it, which is usually standard procedure (think of it as good sportsmanship).

Schiffler and his attorney are working on their next move. This is far from over.
