[QUOTE="bento, post: 4509160, member: 36597"] Story next day didn't include location as it started going off in another direction (why? grieving family, etc.). As for alcohol at Six Flags, I've had enough encounters with jerks at the park to not want to go back there if it is allowed. I've seen a couple of items on the news about it as well and it seems very neutral. But this is all in light of the Dallas Cowboys moving to Arlington (where SFoT is located) and the expected revenues from beer sales. Other "family-friendly" places are starting to jump on the bandwagon. This is in SHARP contrast to about seven years ago when a Hooter's Restaraunt was opened in south Arlington and they were denied a permit. At that time the city council and home owners were aghast that beer would be sold at an establishment that had scantly-clad women a mile or two away from a local high school (although perfectly legal in the state of Texas). The restaraunt got around it by giving away beer free with food purchases. They finally got their permit after several years. Most "big business" news items usually are neutral in Dallas, as the media (Belo Broadcasting, Fox, Disney, Clear Channel & CBS) is very pro-business. You'll typically see a more critical eye on business in publications like the Dallas Observer. [/QUOTE]
