This part of Beachum Nightclub crowd after 2:30am. Bars shut down at 2am. But that crowd lingers in front. 60% of the people in that area come after the bars let out because they are underage to hang out for another hour afterwards. You can see the crowds start to build up in front right around 12am just hanging out not spending a dime. Always a fight or some bullshit coming out of the club. beachum has brought down that whole block of bars and clubs singled handled over the last 20 years. You look at every major shooting down there and it was right next to beachum.

I was a bouncer on Wall Street forever.
