Just another of many opinions, but it seems like Evansville's history of bars and clubs closing is mostly because of the quality of people who always end up going there once it's been open awhile. I feel like if you step away from Evansville and think about the difference between us and Indy/Chicago/Nashville/Louisville, it's the overwhelming amount of a demographic of people that no one wants to be around. That sounds mean and judgmental coming out, but when I go to big clubs in other cities I don't see the kind of people (in such large amounts) that I see in Evansville's clubs.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think it matters WHAT you put on ANY side of town (Icon, Oxygen, Fast Eddy's, White Lightning, etc.) the story always ends the same...and it's not going to change until Evansville as a whole starts attracting classier people by bringing in jobs. Probably relates to the other issue that is always talked about, which is that so many young professionals (the kind you want to see at bars and hang out with) are leaving the city like it's a plague. Probably also relates to the huge meth problem in our city.

I love this town as much as anyone, but we're doing something wrong.
