WEST CHESTER — Bam Margera is a step closer to opening a theater in his hometown.

West Chester Borough Council has agreed to withdraw its objection to a liquor license for the MTV star's planned theater after a long list of conditions were met.

The council voted 5-2 in favor of withdrawing its protest of the license after backers agreed not to sell package goods.

Margera, 28, says he was willing to compromise and is just trying to make the borough happy.

The professional skateboarder became a punk hero on MTV's "Jackass" and "Viva La Bam." He is teaming with a business partner to open the theater.

The liquor control board will have a hearing for neighborhood groups opposed to the theater who have filed protests.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
