You think it's bad where you live?
Try being in Rhode Island right now.If you're not in the bar by 10 PM, forget going at all--the lines are that long. I never went to the Station, but most of the places I frequent have sprinklers and at least two or three fire exits (I have always been paranoid about that). I'm really glad that they're doing this, even if it took something so horrific to get people on their feet.
The only reason that place wasn't sprinklered (?) was because it was grandfathered into the codes.
