Not that this really applies to us anymore, but I never understood the point of gating River Street. People under 21 could still go down there and Savannah allows open-containers downtown year-round, so nothing was really being "contained." The money collected from the wristbands simply paid for the gating and security needed to enforce the gating, with a nominal amount of profit left over.
Therefore, I think the city made a good decision. However, I do not have any intentions to meander down to River Street on St. Patrick's Day in the foreseeable future. As much as I love Kevin Barry's, it is not the same place on March 17th as it is every other day of the year.

What about Wet Willies?
What about it?
It's definitely worth going to River Street for.
You want to meet me there tonight?
