Regarding the comment about 2 am licenses....'why do you think 2 am licenses are bad for the city?', I agree with the previous poster and would instead ask the question....Why do you think that they're good? I'll guarantee you they primarily benefit the bar owner, and the patrons, who more often than not live outside of the city. I think it would be better if we focused more on benefitting the residents who have to deal with the noise and disruption.

I've never found the 2 am licenses to have any effect on me, as a resident two blocks from the Burren. Maybe the noisy people just don't walk my direction?
