Downtown needs help, not the city’s hindrance
I am flabbergasted that the police department chose to arrest Lee Meekins. The businesses he manages in downtown Greensboro are a vibrant part of a downtown still working hard to become a destination for shoppers and diners.
If retail and restaurants are to thrive, the city must take a hard look at archaic policies.
Can you imagine Charlotte or any city with an ounce of foresight shutting down sidewalk dining at 10 p.m.?
More importantly, shouldn’t a police department stretched so ridiculously thin be investing their efforts in more important things?
