Now, I'm not a drinker and I'm certainly not one to defend the acts of idiocy that far-too-often accompany the use of alcohol, but I wouldn't mind seeing alcohol sales at Pinewood Bowl, as approved by Parks & Rec. Now the matter goes before the City Council for final approval (or to get shot down).
It's not that I support alcohol sales just because. Rather, it would be nice to see new types of performances -- concerts, in particular -- at Pinewood Bowl. No offense to the musicals that perform each year, but I hardly think they utilize Pinewood Bowl to its full potential. And frankly, Parks & Rec needs money right now. If they can pick up some extra income by bringing in a couple concerts and permitting the well-regulated sale of alcohol ... well, that hardly sounds like a bad thing to me.
Am I missing any good arguments to the contrary?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Nope. I’ve been to a couple of shows at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City, which is just a bigger version of Pinewood and their alcohol sales didn’t seem to cause any problems.
The restroom situation at Pinewood Bowl is not good: long lines, gross facilities, and they haul in a couple handicap-accessible port-o-potties. Beer=more potty breaks, so they’d definitely need to improve the restroom situation.
If I had a clean place to pee without waiting in a long line - I’d be up for a concert!
There’s plenty of shrubbery. 😉
