Well... here's where my teenager comment came from. I had the misfortune of being in Bricktown a few months ago, apparently during Reggaefest. In the 3-4 hours I was down there, there were three shootings, all of them between teenagers. There were literally thousands of people roaming around on the streets. Normally this would be a very good and exciting thing for Bricktown -- the problem was that none of them were actually going inside restaurants/bars/venues/etc. because they were too young or didn't have the money, and many were just lingering around on the street causing problems (such as harassing one another). I can't commend the OCPD enough for the wonderful job they did that night keeping order.

Now that one was the extreme example, but I have been down there many nights when the thug element was out in full force. I have no problems with teenagers who are there for a reason, but the last few times I was in Bricktown there was definitely a problem with kids just roaming around and not actually going anywhere. I'm hoping the curfew has solved this problem -- only time will tell. I think it was a step in the right direction though.
