Tucker creates open container district in its downtown area (Atlanta: neighborhoods, restaurants)

[Born 2 Roll]

The DeKalb County city of Tucker has created an open container district in its downtown area.

Tucker created its first entertainment district in its downtown area...

... Tucker’s Downtown Master Plan included the goal of creating an open container district, and city leaders did just that during their Monday meeting. Open containers will be allowed along roughly two blocks of Railroad Avenue and First Avenue near Main Street, with an additional block along Lynburn Drive.

Open container hours stop at 10 p.m. in Tucker

2 DeKalb cities create new open container districts - Tucker joins several metro Atlanta cities, including Dunwoody, which have areas where residents can drink alcoholic beverages outdoors (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Sounds like a lot of folks in DeKalb are going to be walking around with cocktails.

I think that’s what city leaders in Tucker and Dunwoody might be hoping for.

Why is "open container" such a big deal that it needs a special district, with special cups, and special stickers?

Ask the Cities that require it?

After a year's test run, the Marietta City Council voted this week to make the open container district on the Marietta Square permanent, and did away with limited days/hours for it.

I assume it's a way to funnel business to local pubs and restaurants but I don't know for sure.

Yeah. I don't understand.

Tucker has had an actual downtown since long before it was incorporated. Unlike most of these spring-up cities like Brookhaven, Stonecrest, Dunwoody, maybe Sandy Springs.
