“My understanding the huge problem with the rowdiness and the live shows and stuff like that was all performed at what become known as South Beach, and now it’s going to be referred to as Dry Hollow. And, that became closed all yr ultimate year. So, that honestly stopped a number of that. And it’s under creation this year. And it’s going to be controlled via the kingdom. It’s going to be controlled intently by us. So, we gained’t allow that form of a factor to go on anymore.”
