Likely due to the drop in temperatures and no local bars actively pushing the event (cough Pinch Penny Pub cough), this year's Polar Bear was a comparatively tame event. I saw one group drinking on a porch on West Mill Street at 10 a.m. and a couple of the fraternity houses on S. University had people out in the afternoon. I heard of one party on S. Poplar getting loud about 2 a.m. and saw a few complaints about people peeing by dumpsters but that was about it. No large crowds of students traipsing along West Main or S. Poplar as in days of yore.
Of course, it was a bit cold yesterday so that may have kept people inside.
