The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Let’s revamp Boston’s nightlife. Use empty warehouses turn them into places people can dance at. This isn’t a place for djs to shout someone out for their birthday, this is a place of entertainment. Phones down, let’s dance.
Who it helps and why
Boston’s night life is basically owned by 1 group and it’s time for Boston to wake up from its sleepy town feel. I want to dance to some techno, poppy, upbeat music and currently there’s no space like that in Boston. It’ll bring in younger crowds, even older crowds who are tired of dancing to gasolina by daddy yankee, and revamp the city’s lacking nightlife scene. Also extend curfew hours, last call on drinks, 1-2am is so early to be ending the night.
