I’ll be curious to see what st Patrick’s day looks like, or Wednesday when all those bars have 1/2 off night again. I feel like there is a big shift in thinking since last Wednesday. Last week was a perfect storm- everyone back from spring break with some $$, weather was temperate, and there are lines on a typical Wednesday at those bars.
It was busier than usual, but the link in the OP says “record sales.” Nothing in the article, in fact it says:
“Samantha Bahnweg said that they were busier than on a typical Wednesday.
"I know that a lot of people are out and about in town right now ... it's been busier during the day than it normally would be on a Wednesday just because students don't have to show up in person in class," Bahnweg said. "As for the rest of the week we'll kind of see."”
Just take the hyperbole out of it. It doesn’t even say that in the article.
Just so everyone knows, the bars mentioned (except the fieldhouse) are owned by the same company, and all have 1/2 off Wednesday’s (including FH), and are all within a block from each other. Even without classes being cancelled they were likely going to be busy.
I don’t know why they would have everyone come back from spring break from wherever they were then immediately cancel classes. Then this. Then they mostly all leave for other parts of the state. I guess we’ll see how it turns out.
