Imagineering: How about being able to walk outside with a beer downtown and not get arrested?

The demise of Greens-boring is based in reality: It’s not a bad place to live, even for 20-somethings. A nice mix of shops, restaurants, bars and breweries makes downtown an attractive venue for those seeking a little recreation.
At the same time, Greensboro isn’t Las Vegas or New Orleans. How, then, to spice up the Gate City to compete with these heavyweights of American tourism? Do as they do: Allow open containers of alcohol in public places.
Shockingly, North Carolina leaves the regulation of open containers of beer and unfortified wine to local, city or county ordinances. (State laws prohibit open containers of the hard stuff.) Why not take advantage and market Greensboro as the “Sin City of the North Carolina Piedmont”?
I’m only half-kidding. Despite prohibitions dating back to biblical times, sin has always been a popular activity, especially among the college-age population that, despite the five colleges in town, doesn’t flock downtown on the weekends. And, in truth, it’s not self-evident that drinking beer in public is a sin. After all, Jesus turned water into wine in a semipublic setting.
