I am so pleased to see there are those that have the mentality to remind us all of the truely important things in life and civilization. The children are our future. What quality of child is produced from bars, nightclubs, and honky tonk businesses? All great civilizations fell due to rotting from the inside out. Thus weakened they were easily overrun by the enemy. This seemingly glorification of over self-indulgence in alchol by drinking in one watering hole after another, attracks the wrong kind of class of people to our area. Thus many parents will move from this environment in order to save their children. We need mentors for our children: such as those fighting the evils of too many bars and that type environment. Don't get me wrong, I like my glass of wine with my dinner, but I do not approve of turning Midtown into a ghetto of bars - no matter how the big city worshippers try to sugar coat it!!!
