> ARTS DISTRICT NOT WORKING
Changes likely ahead to give the
Pike Street area more viability

The arts district along Pike Street isn't working and changes may be ahead. Biggest complaint is the area
is too restrictive, and is keeping retail businesses and restaurants away. Plus, bars on the street
have to close at 1 am rather than the usual 2:30 am. Check out the video above.
