Stand (or sit) by your man...

Despite this being the last big summer weekend to get out of town, Lower Greenville was packed with the usual motley crew of gangbangers and troublemakers.

While the scumbars are dropping off the radar one by one, the restaurants replacing them (and the ones that were already here) are doing their best to hold the line while the new Lower Greenville gets its act together.

That said, we strongly encourage families to come out here and celebrate special events like graduation, promotions, and even birthdays.

But please, leave your anxiety, tensions and general bad attitude at the house. One extended family didn't, and their collective antics put half of them in jail, and on Vimeo.

It's amazing what someone with a masters degree in architecture will say to the police when he's sitting on the sidewalk wearing handcuffs.

Quoting from the DPD Weekend Report for Lower Greenville...

A birthday party gone bad at Eight Lounge resulted in three Public Intoxication arrests. This incident was hampered when family members tried to interfere with arresting officers, and resulted in a window being broken at Moreno's Printing at 1910 Greenville.

Let's roll that beautiful baked bean footage, with apologies to Tammy Wynette [BD is now posting all videos to Vimeo - the images are much sharper than YouTube]:
