'We will be seeing patrol officers downtown more often to make sure that everybody is abiding by the entertainment district rules and regulations, such as no drinking in or on the vehicles, no glass bottles, maintaining the noise ordinances, the curfew for the minors,' says Kristen Schultz with TAPD.
Entertainment district hours run from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and until midnight on Sunday.

A 'Home Improvement' Clip Is Going Viral For Exposing Just How Backwards We Have Gone As A Society
JIM WATSON / AFP via Getty Images ABC Photo Archives / Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images For reference, "Home Improvement" followed the life of DIY TV show host Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, his wife, Jill, and their three sons. It originally aired on ABC between 1991 and 1999. ABC via Disney+ 'I don't need Angela to make me a sandwich,' Tim tells Brad, who insists: 'She doesn't mind,' which Angela echoes. Tim reiterates: 'I don't need you to make me a sandwich, thanks. ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ When Tim says that he does, Brad asks: 'And you think that's good?' and Tim reasons: 'Well, I don't know, it works for me… But maybe having Angela as your sandwich girl works for you, your whole life is sandwiches!' ABC via Disney+ Since being posted to TikTok, this clip has been liked almost 200k times, and racked up thousands of comments — with many of them saying the same thing. 'this would be called woke today,' a popular comment reads. Somebody else echoed: 'They tried to do a story like this these days MAGA would call it 'woke' and call for a boycott of everyone involved.' 'Funny how back then the audience would have perceived the dad as a 'good man', whereas now the same audience would call him 'woke/soft/leftist,'' another user added. 'now you would have 300 guys complaining it's woke,' one more agreed, while somebody else observed: 'It's almost like 'wokeness' that people keep referring to has always been there, it just wasn't wrapped up in inflated egos fueled by political rhetoric.' And one more concluded: 'I got so many of my lessons in being a man from 90s sitcoms. Just human lessons, not activists lessons.'
