Post in Keeping bars open longer for the RNC

Apr 03 19:24 UTC

Atom, with all due respect, I don't expect that anyone but locals and very few
RNC visitors will be in our bars until 2:00 AM, much less 4:00 AM.

If they are interested in what they are here for, they will not be getting
themselves drunk in a public place.  On the other hand, I would bet that there
are plenty of hospitality suites that may be open late into the night.  Why
spend your money if you don't have to.

As for the protesters, some of them may hit the local watering holes after
their march.  I doubt that many of them will be that interested in spending
good money for over priced drinks.

Anyone?  Anyone?

Archbishop John Nienstedt weighed in on this issue in his column in this
week's Catholic Spirit:
