There was a mention in the document that a zoning change now allows 4AM liquor licenses -- wonder how that'll affect attendance at 7:30AM conference sessions.
^ More of those 4am liquor licenses would be a good idea if they really want to make Motor Row an entertainment destination. Of course, there is a flip side to that. Too many of those and you run the risk of turning this into Weed St Part II, with rows of grungy nightclubs, drunk 20-somethings pissing on the pavement, and random fights between strangers.

I'm sure the Prairie district neighbors will love it!
