This is bloody serious. What time was this? I do not understand WHY there are punks who think because they are in a group they can do what they like. All it itakes is to run against an armed citizen..... but no one wins in that case either.TheWayoftheArch wrote:innov8ion wrote:^ I dunno about Fado posing a large risk, but I can tell you that Lucky's downtown is a concern on Sundays. Gunshots were heard last Sunday night near there. Something needs to happen before another person is killed at that location.
Partying is fine. Thug parties w/ guns, fighting and incessant honking is not acceptable in our downtown neighborhood. Shape up or ship out, Lucky's.
I actually heard those...
I was walking my dog late one night a couple of weeks ago and a bunch of guys who had just left Lucky's were crossing Tucker heading east and I glanced at them as I rounded the corner one said "How bout this Mother f*****?" to the other 5. I'm guessing I was about to get jumped, but I was 30 feet ahead and made it to my building. As I turned around in the elevator they had idled by the front door.
Not cool. I'm 28 205lbs and can handle myself if I have to. I don't want to, especially when walking my damn dog.
Well, you may have noticed I created forums for the closest neighborhoods to downtown here: http://dslra.org/component/option,com_f ... Itemid,47/jmatthewmckee wrote:Yah, unfortunately, they're not well-publicized. The info is posted on the neighborhood website at http://www.columbussquare.org
All the more reason why we need better communication between the different parts of downtown
get 'em.

Ok, I received some good news to pass on from the CID (Community Improvement District) meeting held today.
Captain Leyshock announced that Lucky's had been having a hip hop night on Sundays and that he realized that car break-ins had skyrocketed in that time period in a 4 block radius around Lucky's.
He has spoken with the Property owners, the club owner/managers and they are going to shut down on Sundays until they come up with some alternative programming. They agreed that the Hip Hop Crowd was intimidating and that they did not wish to be responsible for the behaviors that were radiating from the group.
I think we all want our downtown businesses to be successful and contribute to the neighborhood's vibrancy -- just not at the cost of safety in the neighborhood itself. So a big kudos to Lucky's for doing the right thing.

A bit less pressing than the safety issue, perhaps.dweebe wrote:What about their bad valet parking habits?
If someone's near 9th and Hampton, they could request a copy of the valet permits on this block from the Director of Streets, Todd Waeltermann. It'd sure be nice if they had the capability to scan/email or fax the documents -- but that might be expecting too much. In any case, we could then verify whether they're operating within proscribed parameters. It's a shame and doesn't reflect well on Lucky's that the valet company they hired is less than forthcoming about their valet permit.innov8ion wrote:^ Like what specifically? Excess crime and/or nuisances? I think we all knew when we moved to the loft district, that it is a social atmosphere with restaurants, lounges, bars and clubs. At some point, we should be tolerant of a certain amount of nuisance. And at a higher threshold of nuisance and crime, be vigilant. Balance, ya know. What are your thoughts?

How about a different adjective, please?
