(Des Moines, Iowa) – This is a first. The Des Moines Register has been tracking developments around a fast-food restaurant in Clive, Iowa, that recently got a liqour license allowing it to serve beer at its drive-through window. The Clive city council voted unanimously back on April 17 to award the liquor license to Iowa Castle. The paper published an update today as to how people in the community are worried about it (and understandably so).

[Ed: I’m guessing that this could blow up into national coverage before long. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (or MADD) will almost certainly get involved. For this reason, I don’t see any fast food “chain” with even a hint of a reputation touching this…even though they could probably make some decent $$$ off of it.]
