I my self was more interested in how the businesses surrounding the bar felt and were affected by the ordeal. So, I spent my time there talking with those business owners. I spoke with TJ the general Manager of Aaron’s rental located next to Reflections. He told me, “As long as it doesn’t interfere with my customer parking I’m ok with it.” Another concern he had was the parking lot, and hoping it wouldn’t be trashed. “I have picked up beer cans after a normal night at the bar, cant wait to see tomorrow,” said TJ. He did say that the owner of the club came over and spoke to him a few days before the event took place to make sure they were ok with it.

I spoke to one business in the plaza that was extremely unhappy by the whole thing. They asked me not to use there name, but I will say if you look at some of the pictures floating around it isn’t hard to figure out. This is not how you make your business respectable, they told me. The biggest concern came from the Day Care located next to the plaza. Thankful its MLK day and we don’t have busses pulling up to drop off or pick up kids, was their main concern.

The buss was still in the parking lot this morning on my way to work, which may lead to more worries, when those busses start to bring kids to the day care center.
