BIG NEWS OF THE WEEKEND!!!

There was a frontpage article on the city's main tabloid about the decreasing number of neighborhood bars, and they said that since 2009 tavern licenses in the city have held steady at around 1200.

It was funny, since the previous night I was just telling some people that I'd be surprised if there were more than 1200 bars in the city, I actually said that number.

Though, I'm also counting bar areas in restaurants where it's okay to come in and hang out and get a drink, so I probably underestimated when *I* said 1200; I figure that that increases the total number of bars by like around 25%, to somewhere like 1500 (maybe 1600?).
