Kurt Nova Scotia here. I’m not coping well with the news that LTJ is leaving Boston. I’m sure I have a post or two on that subject being edited within me as I sit here, but I’m not ready to go there yet. Since I’ve been half in the bag since LTJ told me he took that job, I thought I’d share with you an article that put a smile on my face (and if you know me, you know that’s as rare as Haley’s Comet).
Boston is a great little city, but she’s not reaching her full potential. What would help Boston reach her full potential, you ask? Why, later and greater access to alcohol, of course! I’m kidding…sort of. Drinking late is just one step in making Boston a more world-class city. We need more (that would mean any) all-night restaurants. We need public transportation that runs later into the early morning hours. This will attract more visitors and tourists into the city and it will infuse Boston with much-needed cash.
The old fools on Beacon Hill think that only college students would benefit from keeping the bars open later and running the T a couple hours later. They’re wrong. Simple as that. Thank goodness for the couple of level-headed members of the state legislature who are thinking clearly. Or…maybe it’s just that they also feel stifled by a 1:30 am last call. I, for one, am going to be the first to buy them a drink at 3:30 am when I see them at City Bar.

Having the bars open until 4am — interesting concept. I can't remember, did this ever go through when the convention was in town last summer? That was a total cop out, but I don't think it ever went through.
Personally, I think this is just one of those things that will always be discussed in congress, but will never get passed.
