Square Hangers-on

Drove around the square to see what the situation is about 10 p.m. Thursday night there were only about 4 people sitting around but Friday night there were well over a dozen in the eastern half. Police or the city had put up barricades partially blocking access to the parking area but it was fairly easy for anyone who wanted to drive a car into the parking area if they wanted. The only businesses I saw open in the area at that time were Tres Hombres and ABC Liquor. I am not certain as to what the answer is but, if the people there are driving away customers from Tres Hombres and keeping students away from downtown, something needs to be done.
