Bye Bye Rockin' Rodeo

It looks like Rockin’ Rodeo may finally be closing its doors for good.  Lawyers for the owners announced yesterday that the club had lost its lease.  Owners of the property felt that the shooting there recently, along with other incidents in the past, placed their other tenants in danger. According to the paper, city council members were more than pleased by the announcement.  

I don’t get that.  I mean, I don’t care one way or the other if Rockin’ Rodeo closes or not, and I don’t blame the owners for not wanting it there anymore, but why are the council members so pleased.  It’s not like getting rid of the night club is going to get rid of the people who went there.  The thugs that shot up the place are still running around town.  Obviously they enjoyed going to Rockin’ Rodeo, maybe they’d go back if they kept it open.  You know, return to the scene and all.  It might it easier to catch them.  Closing Rockin’ Rodeo just means that the crowd who went there will have to start going somewhere else.  Personally, I’d rather they stay were they are.  

Better Rockin’ Rodeo than downtown.
