Today's Poll!Neighbors weigh in on tattoo parlors
Sunday, December 19, 2010
In the past few weeks, Jefferson City officials have had plenty of conversations about the environment that is cultivated around tattoo studios.
David Bryan is the property manager for The Bryan Company, which owns 210 E. High St., the building where Capital Tattoo Co. is located downtown. He said since the operators of the business put down a deposit on the site in February, he has not had a single problem with loitering.
“I get more riffraff coming out of the bars than I ever do out of there (Capital Tattoo Co.),” Jana Corbitt, owner of SnapIt Photos, said. “I get the drunks who are putting their faces up against the glass and all of that. That’s where I get my hassle from.”

lets see about running off the bars now! Oh, what will the Legislators do for lunch then?

Maybe the mayor and council should restrict who can go into the uptown bars.

i think the local politicians are looking for scapegoats, they can't or not willing to blame themselves for this mess...

IMHO the city council will not let facts interfere with their decision making process.

Rodinman, does that mean that the JC city council just does whatever they want, without any regard as to what the citizens want? Because after that Rassmussen fiasco, I believe that there is no limit to what that council may do.

Best thing to do is to make entire uptown a closed, gated community. Passes could be issued by the Chamber and/or City Hall to folks to allow them to enter. That way they could keep undesirables and riff-raff out of the uptown area. Since the streets will be gated, hopefully that will cut down on the parking felons uptown too.
