There have been a couple times—OK, maybe a lot of times—we've woken up after a night out on the town and our brains are feeling like poutine gravy.
Thing is, it's worth it. Nightlife is such an essential part of our identity, be it historical or this weekend.
So, for this issue of the Bulletin, we're looking a little more closely at last week's announcement of a 24h Latin Quarter, why the city's cutting funding to its (successful!) MTL 24/24 project, cutting down on the students who patronize the scene and feed its need for warm bodies to be servers/cooks/dancers/shot boys 'n' girls/managers/DJs via the tuition hike, and the bar owners who've had enough of noise complaints.
