No action on Kendrick's The fate of Kendrick's Casual Dining & Lounge won't be known until at least June 19. On Monday, the licensing au- thority gave manager KimberlyMooney's * attorney another two weeks to prepare a response to a possible code violation involving gunshots at the North Street,, Hyannis nightspot. The police department withdrew its-' request to roll back Kendrick's closing hour to 11 p.m. "due to the frequency of incidents requiring police involvement inside and outside the licensed premises, " disturbances caused by patrons inside and outside the licensed premises and arrests associated with customers..." Sgt. Sean Sweeney, the department's liaison with the licensing authority, said the request has been put on hold while ¦ clarification is sought on the actual clos- ingtime of the establishment. He said the liquor license says 12:30 a.m. while the entertainment license lists midnight. "We may proceed just with strictly enforcing the enter* ainment license," Sweeney said.

"We do not have empty storefronts." Fonseca said he "meant no disrespect by my statement ," but was just "telling you what I hear from other people." Barnstable delegate Tom Lynch said those informants'viewwasout of date."Two yearsago, Iwouldn't have thought ofsitting on a sidewalk on Main Street and enjoying pizza and music,"he said. "The old Guido's now has 11 units of housing, and it's sold out inthe mid-$300,000s,some higher.Folks are willingto invest down there." Delegate Marcia King of Mashpee, who said the GIZ might "help some of the detractors of the commission back away." said she's beginning to pick up an Upper West Side feel about Main Street, Hyannis, noting the mixed residential and business uses of buildings in the New York City neighborhood. Speaker Tom Bernardo of Chatham said he believes firmly that "Barnstable's and downtown Hyannis's best days are ahead of them, not behind them." Leave the last word, and perhaps the start of anew argument,to delegate George Bryant of Provincetown. Like Lynch, he's impressed by the revitalization of the former Guido's, aka the West End Market- place, where "my father 's first cousin had a package store before he moved to the West End." Bryant said he hoped the success ofMain Street .Hyanniswould rub off on other Cape areas. "Buzzards Bay," he said, "really is a basket case." Deeds... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:9 was $206,000.
