I suspect in Chicago there is a bit more involved

Note that the article points out that you need permits in Chicago as well but they have put one stop shopping for permits in place. All this assumes one does not want to sell beer wine or hard liquior, which opens another kettle of permits from the state liquior control board (This dates back to at least medieval times in England needing a permit to sell booze). So the question is really why has not some politicial campaigned on a one stop permit service? I guess there is not enough interest in it. (Or is it that Cambridge has it and Boston does not, so just cross the river)>
