Even black service professionals complain about working Essence weekend.


Most would tell you Bayou Classic is far worse. Walk-Ons going to start performing remodels every six months? Better secure that place against vandals.

As a former service professional in the Birmingham area, I can tell you that the Magic City Classic weekend was always the worst possible weekend to work anywhere in the entire area.

During the Kentucky Derby Festival they'd have cruising on Broadway (a.k.a. Derby on Broadway) in the West End. When even the black Mom and Pop stores had to shutdown because of vandalism, theft, etc you know it's ridiculous. They finally ended up having to shut it down because of the shootings that were happening during the event.

Want businesses to stay open during your event? Make sure your event participants don't act like a bunch of asses. Otherwise, businesses have every right to protect their assets and if that means closing then so be it.
