Safety first
Rich Hammond writes about security improvements at Dodger Stadium in today's Daily News. Among the things we learn in the article are that thugs are very thrifty people, and only started showing up last year when some ticket prices were reduced to $2 from the higher $6-10 norm.
Presumably the difference was pocketed and put into the hydraulics/rim set fund that so many of those living the thug life maintain.
According to the fans in the article, the games have gotten more safe, and they bring their children without much fear of a ruckus. Uniformed LAPD officers are now present, and the $2 promotion was discontinued. And while that may mean less violence, it also means my date will be paying her own way.
Which may or may not be related to why I'll be spending the Fourth of July alone in the office ... hm, food for thought.
