I really think downtown business owners lack imagination. There are so many neat things that could be created besides just a bar. I am not saying do away with alcohol. Why not have a cool place with several bowling lanes where you get get food and drinks. Or have a movie draft house where you show one cool movie and you are able to sit while eating and drinking.

All over the country there are places called Dave and Buster's. These are fun places that give adults a chance to drink and eat and have fun. Why has no one built something like this here?

There is too much focus on drinking. In my opinion, if you take the focus off alcohol then you will have a safer situation and possibly a situation where you might not even need police protection.

I am NOT calling for anyone to stop drinking. I want to encourage those business owners on Third Street to consider thinking outside the box.
