Actually I'm more ticked off at her for not doing more to shut some of these "districts" down, namely the 1st Southwest strip of bars that popped up after Electric Ave died. I live very close to that strip. 1st south west could be an awesome little stretch of restaurants and cafes but instead we get 4th rate dance bars that have stabbing every other day. I understand she's been watching the bar count on 17th pretty closely, which is good - nice little pubs are good, but I would hate to see a "dance club" open up and give the "red mile" it's kiss of death. Tequila gives off more than enough bad vibe to 17th Ave as it is.
