You know what? I'm for it. You know why? Economic opportunism.
You see, one of those haggard, masturbating street urchins is going to have a light bulb go off in their heads. After pestering and forcing the good people of Downtown to give him or her their change, they'll head on over to Goose Hollow, or over the bridge, and fill a backpack or urine-covered grocery cart with -- you guessed it -- illegal beer and liquor! Now with the goods, they'll have a black market opportunity on their hands.
So go for it, Amanda and Shirley, you prohibitionist dreamers. Like the Anti-Saloon League before you, I'm sure you'll have a ton of success with your efforts at curbing the human desire to intoxicate itself! And really, thanks for leaving us middle class kids out of your meddling. How Mighty White of You!

Yeah, little effort to publicize this has been made. In fact, it's not currently listed on the City Hall calendar (the Urban Renewal Area Public Meeting is listed in its place), not mentioned on the City's liquor control website (all the information there is from last month, making it seem to be a done deal), not listed on Fritz's calendar, not listed on the mayor's calendar, and comes right after the neighborhood association had a month off so they could not publicly debate it.

This isn't exactly an open attempt to get public input.

Well i just posted a mention of this on Indy Media & included a link to this page. So hopefully afew [more] folks will know.
