I grew up in Wilmington. I have been away but visit quite often because I still have family living in Wilmington area, So heres my idea because I am active duty(offended by clubs turning people away just for being active duty...isn't that illegal? Prejudice?) and been around to quite a few major cities along the east coast. I noticed it is a national problem closing bars at 2am and everyone filtering onto the streets at the same time. Groups of drunks = fights. How about this small city board members come up with a bright but simple plan of last call at 2am which is the law and then stagger the closing of bars some close at 2am and some close 3am like other Major cities are doing. Give time for people to sober up a little more as well as there isn't a mob on the streets. Somebody will cry about this idea though. Nothing is simple any longer.
