1PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM The big change is that now the problem bars will be a problem for an extra hour. Not having a bar by me makes my life easier. Having a problem bar by me (and I have friends that do) I recommend they contact their council member until that person knows them by voice, until the problem bars are dealt with. I find it sad that Mpls city council has done such a lousy job of dealing with problem bars. Don't hold all the bars responsible for the few bad ones, just deal with the bad ones.
One solution may be to make it necessary to get a special permit to be open after say 10 pm, and base renewal of the permits on problems caused by that bars patrons after 10 pm. Too many drunk and disorderly calls, and take away the after 10 pm permit. While I am not totally OK with holding the bar responsible for its patrons, certain bars attract certain types of people. Some people just don't seem to know how to respect others rights once they have had a few. On the same note, we do have laws to hold bartenders responsible for allowing a person to drink 'too much' and doing something illegal. Just an idea, needs some work to make it better though.
