Happy Halloween, Dirty Sixth

Today is Halloween. In the Austin tradition (and in the interest of good sense), Sixth Street will be closed by 6:00 p.m. from Brazos to the Interstate 35 Frontage Road, with cross streets closed between Fifth and Seventh streets. In addition, downtown I-35 exit and entrance ramps may be closed, depending on traffic. In a press release about the festivities, the Austin Police Department took the opportunity to remind everyone that:

• No illegal weapons of any type will be allowed. Anyone with illegal items will be subject to arrest and the property is subject to seizure.
• Open containers of alcohol are prohibited on Sixth Street.
• Glass containers are prohibited on Sixth Street.

Another reminder: Halloween is a no-refusal weekend. Have fun, everyone!
