Businessman planning Lawrence 'Aggieville'
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
Kansas City has Westport, New Orleans has Bourbon Street, Manhattan has Aggieville, and Lawrence has . . . Lawrence lacks a center of nighttime entertainment.
But, if a local businessman's pans pan out, Lawrence could eventually have its own version of Anjervie.
Doug Compton, the businessman, last year bought two local bars: the Matter Hattier, 709 New Hampshire St., and the Echo, 1344 Tennessee St. This year, during Country Club Week, he opened another Bar, Cogburns, 734 New Hampshire St.
He would like to develop the area around the Mad Hatter and Cogburns into KU's own Aggieville.
"There is a lot of potential and a real
failure. Everyone I've talked to feels the
same."
COMPTON SAID that the area woulu have to be developed gradually during the next couple of years because it isn't something that could be "in put."
"You don't go spending $100,000 because you feel you are a need. The best business is fickle in Lawrence. One year he was on bar and the next year it isn't," he said.
Sam Smeed, manager of the Mad Hatter and Bullwinkle's, said, "It was an ideal situation if you got everyone involved in things work out, we would love to do it."
Compton would like to put in at least
two more bars, he said. The building next to the Mad Hatter is one prospect that he has been trying to buy for the last six months.
Aggleville is an area in Manhattan, close to the K-State campus, that has been developed mainly for students. More than 120 businesses, such as bars, cafes, food shops, movie theaters and a bookstore, are concentrated in the area.
AGGIEVILLE sprung up in 1916 and is the oldest shopping center in Kansas, said Terry Ray, owner of Ray Enterprises, Manhattan. The area got its name because in the 1920s the Wildcats were the K-State Aggies. A Manhattan college that also co-hosted students frequented the area, and "Aggieville" was born.
Aggieville has since grown into the night spot for K-State students.
Ray has accumulated five bars in the area since 1969, he said, and the bars have been successful. The night enterment complements the day business.
Competition has not hurt business for the firm in its area. In fact, Ray said, it has helped.
Blake DeBord, manager of the Dark Horse, said that his bar in Aggieville was doing well also.
"HAVING them all together draws people. It is a luxury that you don't have in Lawrence. It is a definite advantage for us. People can get in their cars and go to one place. Then they don't have to get in their cars
Ray said that Aggieville also had the advantage of being situated close to the city.
again just to change bars," DeBord said.
More bars could mean more intoxicated people, but Ray doesn't think that the number of bars has created such a problem in Agriville.
"People don't settle in for the night.
People move around and consequently.
People get upset."
A lot of activity and good light are the secrets to the success that Aggieville has had with controlling the number of fights and thefts, Ray said.
IN LAWRENCE, many bars are not within walking distance of the campus and parking could be a problem. Sneed said.
working with the Lawrence Police
become another catch in
developing the arrears.
"When we opened up Cogburns, there was more traffic and parking problems and kids were outside with beer," he said. "Maybe the policemen were just mad because they weren't expecting it."
But Manhattan police and Agglieville
capitain们 have worked together to
captain the police.
The Riley County police like Aggieville, said capt. Nick Edky, division commander for the patrol division. Many members of the police force are young and relate well to the students. In fact, police officers even volunteer for the Aggieville beat on Friday and Saturday nights.
