Eton Center
by plikt
April 2006. The Eton Center is a good place to shop if you like to have things in the same place (I hate shopping, more so when I have to spend a whole day trekking through the town to match a shoe with a purse!)
Also, the outlook is good for some nice shots Go in, shop, get out

Drinking and Driving
by Suzanne123
This is not tolerated at all. Mostly during the Christmas season, but also at anytime of the year when bars close at 2 am there are "ride" spot checks. Drivers get stopped by police for 'spot checks'. Drivers may be asked to provide a breath test to check alcohol levels. If it is high one may be ticketed, license suspended, car impounded, and/or taken into custody. It is against the law to refuse the test. Groups of people partying will select a person to be "the designated driver" who will be the person to abstain from drinking thus one is able to drive everyone home safely. Otherwise people pile into a taxi to get home safe.
