GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - Some Gainesville residents are fighting to keep open containers on city streets.
The owners of Loosey’s are asking people to gather at the bar at noon on Thursday before heading over to the city commission meeting at 1 p.m..
In August, Mayor Harvey Ward expressed his support for creating a limited entertainment district where open containers would be allowed.
Commissioners then voted to direct staff to draw up an ordinance repealing the entire open container ordinance.
