City Council will consider rescinding ordinances closing the bars on the south end of Illinois at its June 11th meeting. As long time residents of C'dale know, since 200,bars in that area have been required to close the weekend before Halloween as a result of rioting and property damage in the area. At one time, bars and liquor stores all along S. Illinois were required to close but that has generally loosened over the years, to the point that only Hangar 9, Sidetracks and Gatsbys are still affected.
Those arguing for the rescission of the ordinance point out that the students who participated in the rioting of the 1990 have long left Carbondale and those attending currently have no personal experience with the event, though the local television stations do manage to rollout video of the riots every time the event comes up for discussion.
