Safeway will meet with City Council

regarding the license. Without a liquor

along with their groceries at the store.
But Waterman said the remodeling
and the liquor license issues are
separate. He is adamant about the
renovation taking place. “The growth
o f the area dictates a need for the
store’s expansion and it is what the
com m unity wants," he said. "Now is
the right time.”

Many Portland business districts
have themes and logos that define
them such as the Pearl and Hawthorne
