The not so good neighborhoods on the outskirts of downtown have more bars. The suburbs not so much. |

what exactly do you think is "Philly's mainstreet".
Broad? Walnut? Chestnut? Broad goes the entire length of the city. Walnut practically charges you 20 bucks for entry, it's so ludicrously expensive. Maybe Chestnut. | |

But, there are also good things with smoking bans.
"Adams and Cotti have begun a new study to see if smoke-free bars are associated with evidence of a reduction in heart disease. Preliminary evidence strongly suggests it does."
Which is more important? News Story Details | This is coralation only.
Please cite evidence that the smoking ban *caused* drunk driving.

I would dare speculate that the same predisposition for irrespocible behavior on the part of the people which lead to the smoking ban also lended itself to drunk driving.

nothing "downtown" runs through Temple. That's like saying Broadway is New York's downtown...in the South Bronx. | |

| I think it has more to do with the fact that it's Wisconsin. It's the drunkard state.
Cheese. Beer. Snow. Welcome to Wisconsin.

I dunno what it was, but it seemed pretty central to me. | |
