They come in their cars and Ubers (seems like busloads) arriving Friday and Saturday nights (and various holidays like St. Pat's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Santa Con, etc.). This is the price we pay for living in a "cool" neighborhood. I try to leave town as much as possible in the summer and only go out Sunday through Wednesday.

It's disgusting, and you won't see it happening in fancier, pricier nabes. Someone, somewhere, has designated this as the "sacrificial neighborhood," where quality-of-life has no meaning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-71586881339628631662019-07-26T08:38:50.448-04:002019-07-26T08:38:50.448-04:00@anon 8:29 Agree, all humanity sickens me, too.

Goddamn savages. This story makes me never want to set foot in a dive bar again. Who needs that kind of environment anyways. Drink alcohol at home, or at a friend's place, or at a civilized eatery.

They are just as unhappy as we are about their neighborhoods being transformed into 24-hour party zones. There is such a thing as oversaturation.

Anon. 11:33 was correct; the sheer number of bars in the EV/LES is overwhelming the neighborhood and locals thanks to the influx of wolf packs of drunks, noise, fights, and attendant garbage. Trust me, if every one of those bars was a crack den you would be screaming about the rampant drug problems in the neighborhood.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9922466041197925882019-07-25T15:53:09.227-04:002019-07-25T15:53:09.227-04:00@3:41pm: You are wrong.

Millions of people go to Europe every year where most cities have dozens of bars on each block and they come back home to say how wonderful their trip was and how much fun they had. When you make a talking point, your comment, you dilute the conversation to worthless. If everything is true about that bar. It should have been closed a long time ago, and the sexual harassment would not have happened.
