The Village Council has one main thing on their agenda for the Thursday, October 15 meeting: The 5 am bar closing time. They will receive a resolution to change the time back from 3 am.
They would like to hear from the public, so show up if you want to be heard on the issue. It's at City Hall (3500 Pan American Drive), 7 pm.
There are 17 Village Council candidates up for election in November and before the 5 am discussion, they will have each of the new candidates speak a minute or two so that people can get to know them.
It would be nice to hear as to how it will help business. My take is that people see the Grove as "closed" now and that extra two hours will make a difference. It is perception. It will bring people back at 9 pm, who will have dinner and possibly walk around at 10 pm and possibly buy something in one of the shops and maybe be home by midnight. Not 5 am.
But it's all about perception. We want to be "open for business" again. Apparently CocoWalk is not intersted in the 5 am closings, so they can have their businesses close by 3 am, that is where most of the fights and problems were anyway.
