Bar zone gets elbow room

A stretch of Pearl Street is now being closed off on weekends so as to ease some of the sidewalk congestion in Albany's booze-crawl neighborhood.

I guess that's a good thing. Two things that struck me about this news:

1) how it looks like the weekend is defined as including Thursday night in this town; and

2) how adamant the mayor is about this not meaning one can carry drinks out into the street as part of this experiment. Jerry was very vocal in how "the open container laws will be strictly enforced."

No word on whether the open-puking and open-urinating laws will be similarly enforced.
