As far as the after-hours closure of the Bi-Lo at Alderley is concerned, you've only got yourselves to blame. I used to visit there a bit when when I lived in the area. Its beauty was that it was very discreet and anyone not cruising would be unaware that it was a beat. But since the grafitti got out of control, the locks removed and a hole drilled in a door, the place screams "beat" the minute you enter. No wonder it has come to the attention of the owners and probably the Police. Anyway the whole complex is about to undergo a big expansion which no doubt will include sterile anti-beat facilities. As with so many of the good places, it got over-used, abused and closed...
