KEARNEY: "In order to have a drink inside the entertainment district, you have to go to someone who has a license to sell alcohol. So you would have to go into a bar or restaurant. They are used to regulating underage drinking. They ask for IDs. They have all the processes and procedures already in place, so we're not creating anything new...You'd have to get your ID checked just as you would normally....It also limits the ability of people to bring alcohol into that entertainment district without paying for it.
INGLES: "How does it do that?"
KEARNEY: "Well. because you'd have to have a vessel or cup or whatever that is from that entertainment area or that district."
Kearney says there are other cities in other states that have designated entertainment districts. He says those districts attract crowds and dollars. Kearney says the amount that would be made would largely be determined by the size of the designated district and the hours it operates.
