Comments:

There has been a tavern at that location for over fifty years, contributing to the value and family atmosphere that many enjoy about Cornwall. What would you rather see there, another empty store front? Another toxic nail salon?

Mr. Spero was thrown out of Shamrock Tavern for constantly harassing patrons for drinks and money.......Face it Mr. Spero, like Kate said, it's been a tavern in cornwall for over 50 years, not a charity shelter for you.

So if you were never a patron there, then how would YOU know it's a dive or know the type of people who go there?????The answer is you don't know, do you?.....Antique shop? There was one a Main St. years ago, where were you then to support it Mr. Spero??.....Records show that the tavern first opened back in 1949, 60 years ago!!! Sixty, 6-0! What other continuous buisness in town has been there that long????? With all the empty storefronts in town, maybe it's time to reconize the businesses that have endured here for so long.....Face it, if you want peace and quiet all the time then DO NOT move in next door to a tavern...simple as that!
