itd probably pass.
heck, just last year the voters of the state of massachusetts rejected a referendum that would have allowed wine to be sold in grocery stores. just shows how 'liberal' and 'progressive' we are here!
i may be wrong, but i still dont think liquor-by-the-drink is allowed here in medford.
liberal, my ass.
I think it's more negative connotations wet cities like Somerville and Cambridge have (most notably, the drunk, homeless guys begging for change). I think Arlington is actually a dry town, IIRC. I wouldn't be surprised if Medford would vote to make itself dry, but I'd suspect there's enough Tufts spillover that wet would carry the day.
Somerville is a good mix of old Italian families and yuppies/college kids. I think dry would struggle to get to 30%.
