We know all about the current 24 hr American cities like New York or Vegas. What other American cities are in the process of developing more of a 24 hr culture? What cities are changing their laws and building establishments that will foster a 24 hr environment? Having a 24 hr scene brings in a ton a revenue and in these hard fiscal times, I'm sure many cities are exploring new revenue streams that will add vibrancy to their respective cities.
D.C. is changing last call to 3:00 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends city wide by the end of the year. It's estimated to raise an additional 5 million dollars in FY 2013. D.C. also just opened the cities first 24 hour/7 days a week restaurant/live music venue "The Hamilton" which will benefit greatly from this change. Venues like this can foster big changes to the landscape of a city. I'm sure there are similar ventures going on across the country.

I think American cities would greatly improve their world status if many of them could extend their nightlife all through the night. Nightlife doesn't even begin in many cities around the world till 1:00 am. Partying in places like Madrid is so fun because of that. Maybe one day, all the major American cities will have this type of atmosphere.

Great news for DC, but In my opinion, DC is too White Collar to ever be a tryly 24/7 city. I'm a currency trader in the Asian Markets, so I am up at very odd hours, and 95% of the people out and about in the middle of the night during hte week are people like myself or blue collar workers working 3rd shift.
