Bailey: Time’s up for Bartlett’s limitations on libations
“A lot of wedding venues can potentially be housed there. We have turned away a lot of those wedding venues because we do not have the ability to serve any type of alcohol...through some type of caterer,” Steve Sones, (right), the suburb’s chief administrative officer, said recently about the Bartlett Station Municipal Center.

Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.
Bartlett is considering allowing alcohol at city venues and festivities, quite a change from the past. And maybe a step towards more events, more rentals and a larger list of refreshments for performers after concerts.
