I don't disagree with that at all. The rub there is that's a town with 7 bars in 1 square mile, and their whole song was family friendly to differentiate themselves. The funny bit is it's a seriously cornered market to out of town money, and it is where people bring kids. Because bowling/arcade, no other venue has that. Eliminate that and the kiddos can rough it at Sarges. But they will come, regardless - when it's only place with kid shit. What I found laughable was the chef/vibe/nacho/not slow/bussing station stuff. Like, whoever posted it - my business is not restaraunt mind you - I would be tempted to strangle. Pay us, tip us, and clean up after yourself. Hell if it works that's a great model.

They will dodge until they get the AG call, then they fold. This is the way

I have a little insight into a part of this anyway. I know over the last couple weeks in particular there have been more than a few instances of straight up trashed parents letting their 3-5yo kids just go hog wild screaming and spinning on the dance floor at like 9-10pm while people were playing music and there were patrons there who came to see the act. I can totally imagine that after a while management (who honestly has always been super cool with me anyway) would just be like “holy hell people, please just try not to be a total piece of shit”

I agree about Walmarts in general, but the one in Scarborough has signs specifically forbidding overnight parking.

Well, I hope you are right, but that is what we have been directed to do by the owner of our agency. I do not agree with waiting that long.

Most anything I’ll consider. Retro beige Macs, Accessories, software.

More than yard sale prices less than ebay. Depends on the item/condition.

They actually encourage in some capacity if I’m not mistaken.

How do you get free electricity there?

I understand what they are saying. I think honestly a lot of parents who just let their kids run around all over any establishment think "oh just let them have fun". No. This is someone's place of employment. You have to focus and if kids are running around all over the place it can get dangerous quick. It seems, in my opinion, they may just want to be an "adult only zone". Some people/businesses just don't want to cater to children which is understandable. It probably just upset a lot of families and maybe that's why there's such an uproar. I liked the list actually. Wish my old job had something like that. It gets old letting people just do what they want with no repercussions.

I personally trust the judgement of police....
BUT... I hope it's written clearly, so that the bad apples don't abuse it for an excuse to pull people over because they missed a spot or something (to be clear, bad apples are very very rare. I love the police and the state and the police should be celebrated for the hard job they have defending our freedoms. They should be paid more for having the most dangerous job in America.)

Don't operate a truck so big you can't handle it safely. Evolve or get off the highway.

Well lit, which will hopefully deter people from trying to fuck with you also

Free electric, too! Walmart is a very good option. Also you are generally on camera, witch is good if there is any trouble.

Arcade in the streets. Swingers club in the sheets.

Done it myself a few nights, usually just find a Walmart and park near some light, no fun but definitely doable, stay safe friend, well wishes
