Virginia Beach Bars (26th Oct.06)

Virginia Beach accounts for approx 5% of the state of Virginia's population, yet the city accounts for as much as 20% of the states alcohol licenses. This perhaps helps to explain why there are several drink related arrests during the summer months. So what can be done to lower the alcohol related incidents, to make this a better enviroment for property owners and residents on the beachfront?

The City Council has come up with what might be considered by some, a very innovative way of reducing the number of bars on the beach. Buying them and stopping them from re-opening :) It is no joke! The council have created a new plan of action and this involves allocating just under 1 million dollars for the premises which used to be Peppers, on the corner of 17th Street and Pacific Avenue.

The general idea from the council seems to try and create more of a family environment. There is no denying though that the bars which in a lot of money for the local community. The council are thought to have no specific plans on what to do with the premises they have purchased. Watch this space.
