Let the Good Times Roll

The D.C. Council is considering Jim Graham's legislation today to allow restaurants, bars and other establishments that sell alcohol to be open around the clock for a five-day period during the Inauguration.

"This is absolutely a unique opportunity, and we want our night life to participate in all of the activities and events during the Inaurguration," said Graham (D-Ward 1), after the council breakfast this morning.

The council is holding its legislative meeting today, and Graham said he is optimistic the bill will pass, though he said some details still need to be worked out.
