heard they ticketed quite a few this weekend. Pretty lame to just up and decide to start ticketing for something when it's been permitted for so many years now.

There was a thread about this during sweet arse live after 5 last Friday. Lot of Baghdad Bobbing. Lot of people not really sure.

One you get out of the teen streets and into the 20s, you'd be correct. But the low number streets are lily colored.

Well Paul, you'll be excited to know that since it's not 1997, white people do in fact drink in downtown Baton Rouge.

And to the OP, I've heard they've been sweeping the downtown bars for MIPs too. The budget ain't gonna balance itself.

I was walking down third with a styrofoam cup and a couple of employees oh Happys told me BRPD was giving tickets for open containers and to be careful. Also said they had been fined $3400 for letting people leave with drinks.

In any event, downtown was dead. So BRPD isn't helping business.

I was down there on Thursday and the cops were making the rounds telling the bars they were going to start enforcing open container.

What is their reason for all of the sudden doing this? Pretty ridiculous... I'm assumig it has something to do with Broome.

I frequent third street. You're telling me the crowd is the same as a couple years ago?
