Matt Baum would nail you to the wall. Baum, assistant man- ager of Louise's Bar Downtown, pointed to two identical red signs flanking the bar's front door. The first lines read, HYOU MUST BE 21 T0 ENTERQ' The rest wamed underage patrons that proper i.d. is re- quired. If you give us a fake we will be keeping itf' Louise's, 1009 Massa- chusetts St., served about 500 people every Friday night. Df those, Baum said that between I0 and 20 people usually tried to use a fake ID to enter. Parsley! 'LI got sick of turning away every other personf, Baum said. 'fThis way, by taking the IDs from them, at least I can ruin their social lives for a couple weeks, maybe make them think about it. 'YO idellfilal fed SiSl1S in fI'0l1f of L0lliSe'S Bar Downtown warned students that no one under the age of2l would be allowed to enter the drinking establishment. Fake IDs were collected to those that attempted to use them. tphoto by About a year ago, the bar's owner, Brad Ziegler, decided to put those small pieces of plastic to an aesthetic and preventive use. Almost directly above the front door, 166 fake IDs are stapled to the wall. The IDs ranged from driver's licenses to passports to student IDs both from the University and other schools. Doormen were in- structedto confiscate any IDs they thought were fake. Clifton said that Baum had taken to wielding scissors during his recent door shifts. When he thinks he's been given a fake, Baum cuts it in half while the patron watches. People get mad, but what do they have to be mad about? said Baum. MI just point at the two big signs. It just amazes me that they can read that and still try to pull one over one mef, Q story by Kevin Bates E-9 50 Q fake IDs
