Sounds like a great ownership group and will hopefully bring some stability and options to the Wholesale District.
Reducing the late-late hours will greatly reduce crime-related police calls;or at least transfer them to another location with late-late hours.
True. But enforcing laws and having a police presence that deters crime would allow businesses the freedom to operate with late-late hours. And that doesn’t seem to be happening. Not all businesses enable criminality like Taps & Dolls apparently did, and some crime is going to take place even when conscientious business owners make good-faith efforts to preclude it. It would take place less if there’s an active law enforcement presence.
Closing at midnight on weekends is less than ideal for S. Meridian, which definitely has (or at least had) a party-until-late vibe.
Your final clause is the most painful truth of all. Late-late hours or not, the crime will move to a place where monitoring is lax. Three overdoses at Taps & Dolls in 2021 alone? What a sleazy place.
So the police are supposed to provide security for businesses that stay open late? I don’t think so. They’re role is not to act as private security. If you’ve ever been in the Wholesale District on weekend nights then you would see the heavy police presence. That alone isn’t enough – the business itself has to take on some responsibility for its patrons, which Taps clearly failed to do.
Exactly what Robert stated. Not the polices responsibility. I had some good times at Taps n’ Dolls. Sad to see it’s closed.
I get what you’re saying Robert F and I can see where my comments could be misinterpreted. Obviously it is not a role for a police to be permanently poised at a private business. But I still question whether there is a heavy police presence in the Wholesale District on weekends, given the sort of violent crimes that have taken place there in the last few months. Or–perhaps more important–whether they are told to react at the first site of suspicious activity, or if this would be considered “profiling” and thus they can only react.
The Wholesale District didn’t have routine shootings and occasional homicides even a few years ago, so if the police are there in the area around Taps, they are clearly not intervening in the way they did in the past.
Cool
Well stated Robert F.
It’s like a guy talking crap to young 20s waitress’s but it should be watched. He is still talked crap too. 🙄
