Let's not forget about Zack, Roy and the Curfew: How much more could Roy and friends make, if they use the government to eliminate their downtown competition?

Ed Wolverton, [Downtown Greensboro Incorportated’s] president and CEO,
said the organization will continue to partner with the city and police department
to raise the safety level at night to that of the daytime.

Dioni L. Wise

"Regarding curfews, Matheny said the issue came out of feedback

from downtown stakeholders who say that minors who could not get into bars

are hanging out downtown until 2am.
Roy Carroll, whose Center Point project sits at the heart of downtown,.

said he was pleased with what he heard Wednesday,

adding action was needed."

not refer to the publicly funded Downtown Greensboro?
