Two weeks after late-night shooting in Highland Square, bars back to normal hours
The six bars on the main strip of Highland Square will be back to their normal hours on Friday and Saturday night, a week after five shut down at midnight in what they called a “solidarity close” in response to a June 6 shooting on the block. The late night shooting that wounded three people, reminiscent of a high profile-homicide in similar circumstances in October, was publicly blamed by city officials on people drawn to a Highland Tavern promotion.
