Dunaways closed downtown this weekend for "vacation"

[Naptown]

Tried to make reservations at Dunaway's downtown for tonight, but they are closed for "vacation."

Sounds like they have the same "vacation" as I do this time of year.

 

[Westside]

I always "Vacation" during expo week aswell. Maybe we should plan this better next year and plan a shoot around this time.

This could get ugly fast. There hasn't been much patience about this subject lately and rightfully so.

There was a news article on channel 13 yesterday about businesses that closes versus Business that stay open. Some downtown restaurants may close early for Summer Celebration - 13 WTHR I say they are private businesses and they can open and close as they see fit.

They named it not me Indiana Black Expo, Inc - Celebrating Culture, Heritage and Community this will be my last post on this thread because anything else from here on out would probably end up getting me banned.

I really hope it doesn't.

Probably not locked, but I'm hoping we don't have to issue any bans, temporary or permanent.

Blessings,

Did I miss something? Why is talking about a "festive event" a bad thing? Does this also include 4H fairs?

I think any business downtown that chooses to close rather than risk the consequences, based on the events of prior years, shouldn't be blamed for doing so. The reality of the situation speaks for itself.

Yep, I know a lot of people stay away from downtown because of what has happened in the past. It's really pretty saddening to think that during a celebration of diversity and culture ignorance and stupidity lead to violence and a bad image of said celebration.

isn't it easier to be looted when you are on vacation instead of being there?

I will join the chorus of agreeing with you. I am watching Channel 13 WTHR news right now and they said that EVERY LEO and Sheriff deputy will be on duty tonight to help secure downtown. To me that speaks volumes about what the town thinks of the event.

I was in a downtown restaraunt Tuesday and was told they would be closed the rest of the week , not going to name the place but I don't blame them one bit.

Business must be good to close down for a week. I would have assumed this would be one of those busy weekends that help pay the rent.

About the only time we go downtown anymore is for Colts games. Parking is too expensive, too many punks, too many drunks, too much overhead. It's just not fun for us anymore.

Why stay open when prior history says you won't make any money and neither will your staff.

^^^^^^ Historically this week has cost more $ to stay open than closed, for some small businesses downtown.
