Loughlin brought his concerns to the Mobile City Council where he says part of that could be because of some of the crowds in the downtown entertainment district.
“The crowds on Dauphin Street now bring their own alcohol, play their own music, smoke pot, form congested groups of people we now know unfortunately are infiltrated with street gangs,” said Loughlin. “This crowd congregates in such a way that makes it difficult and intimidating for tourists to pass.”
“The only thing we can do right now is get control of the streets and that simply means right now for a temporary basis we need to end the drinking at 9:00,” added Loughlin. “We have to get these folks out of the streets and into the clubs where we can wand them for weapons.” “Time or actions or times in which we close I think that’s a benefit to our city it drives the entertainment, the industry, it drives so many things that support our businesses downtown,” said Carroll.
