SMOKING BAN: Early Friday Night a Bad One, According to Cabbie
HUNTINGTON, W. Va. — On a rainy Friday night in mid March, especially following one of the worst winter’s for cabin fever, you might expect the club scene in downtown Huntington to be booming. After all, Spring break is still over a week away.
But, there is the Marshall bar crowd and the older bar hoppers that walk purposefully up and down Fourth (and other) Avenue. Generally, the college age dudes and co-eds who frequent a club such as “The Union,” do not peek inside free standing venues serving alcohol and lottery games, rather than live music or a disc jockey.
Last night marked the first weekend evening in Cabell County with the ‘no smoking’ ban in effect. Although relatively early in the evening by nightlife standards (about 10:45 p.m.), a cab driver known as “Three Dollar Dan” had already assessed the evening — a bad one for cab drivers.
