Lucky Old Souls is making some lucky ol' progress

Matthew Feldman first told Meal Ticket about his plans to open Lucky Old Souls at 1713 McKean back the summer of 2009 — by summer 2010, he'd made notable but minimal headway. Now, the local jazz enthusiast is proud to announce that he's secured final approval for a liquor license from the PLCB. (It was held up by neighborhood appeals, you know how it is.) Renovations on the Newbold building that'll house his bar, restaurant and venue — it's been vacant for a quarter-century — will begin very soon, and "Feldie" is confident he'll be open for business before the end of 2011.
To keep the music heads sated while construction goes down, Feldman has organized "Jazz on Colorado Court," a series of free concerts that'll take place on the 1700 block of McKEan, in the outdoor space adjacent to the future home of LOS. The shows will run every Saturday in May from 3 to 6:30 p.m.; musicians Wade Dean (May 7), Venissa Santi (May 14), The Mini Q's (May 21) and Three Blind Mice (May 28) have signed on to play. Mobile vendors Honest Tom's, Tyson Bees, Buttercream and Little Baby's Ice Cream will park to feed the crowds.
how did he get the PLCB to go against their OWN rule about not having a bar on the same block as a church?.... music is great... but the neighbors were right (you know how it is) annesh
