Another !÷#&€! Noreaster (What to Do? What to do?)

I’d advise against starting snowball fights at Northern NJ clubs. Since many clubs are in sketchy locations - the last thing you want is to throw a snowball at a dude with a gun!

Like bringing a knife to a gun fight - bringing a snowball will have a similar effect.

I’m hesitant to recommend any clubs for tonight. The storm isn’t in full swing - and it’s about 1 pm. The afternoon might be a complete mess. Schools are closed already - so the day shift dancers are going to have trouble finding sitters for their kids. The night shift might be sparse.

I'm south and a bit west of NJ--we have a foot of snow --I measured it before cleaning out the drive and walkway and everything is closed around here and I would think it's coming your way at some point today.

On the few occasions where I've gone to a strip club during a snowstorm, it has been entirely dismal. I recommend against it.

I doubt that any club in N. NJ is going to be open today.

Warren Really? 2 and nothing sticking yet. Fingers crossed

@Cash
If this keep up, light snow, might try to make Paterson tonight. Never been to Johnnys, could tonight be decent. Or Xcape or Sunrise

Also, like C.M.I., I clubbed a couple of times on snowy nights and my experiences were also dismal. Many of these girls struggle to get motivated to go in even when conditions are ideal, nevermind when there is a foot or more of snow falling. Going to clubs with no girls is no fun. ;)

Well can't argue with consensus. Have the itch though

We got pounded..........most of the area has at least a foot.....heavy and wet to shovel and nasty on bringing tree limbs down.

Most businesses ( even the malls) are closed around here.

The last two missed us except for a dusting.......this one hit square.

Move south. I wore shorts to Follies today. :)

^^^Move south but stop in Atlanta, we got too many of you here. Besides Shadowcat needs the company. ;)

Clubs are closed mostly

If you’ve got the itch - and it’s not a miserable Nor’easter - then Johnny A’s can be a good time. They usually have a nice line up of dancers - with a variety of body types to please.

If you enjoy extras - stay away during the weekends - as they have more security on Saturday nights.

What I saw on the morning news it looked as if parts of NJ did get hit.

We ended up with 17.5 inches of snow over a two day period-------today is a different world...sunny high 40's...everything melting.

Temperatures here in South Carolina went from highs in the 70's to lows in the 20's. Crazy. Might have been within 24 hours too. At least the cold dropped the pollen levels down a little bit.

--->"Move south but stop in Atlanta, we got too many of you here."

I think you are in for more disappointment. The Yankees are coming in droves now, all over Florida. As advances in communication technology have been allowing ever more people to work remotely, migratory trends were already accelerating before Congress passed the SALT deductions. Now the tax legislation has poured gasoline on the fire and I'm sure the bad winter that they've had up there this year isn't helping either. Everyone has a final straw. Mine was ever increasing state tax liabilities and two back to back winters with storms that knocked out power for 7+ days.

In my area, they can't build new homes and schools fast enough and I've heard the same thing about other destination cities. Conversely, in places like Westport CT and other Gold Coast cities in CT (by way of one example), there are commercial for sale and for rent signs almost everywhere you go. Even in Manhattan, commercial and even some residential rents are actually coming down as demand is slacking. Over the next decade, we may see a drastic transformation of Florida as well as many northeastern states..

^^^Well you may be right again twice in three days maybe pigs can fly.
But let these newcomers know unless you are able to afford an on demand home power system, which I have, power outages after our increasing in severity hurricanes and 7 days without power is not unknown here as well, and taxes have tripled since I moved here 5-10K property tax bills are not going away anytime soon. So no matter how green the grass looks on the other side of the fence, Florida is increasingly becoming a hard place to move to for folks that aren’t fairly well off.

^^^Too bad you can't be as right as I am on this one. ;)

Florida is still absurdly cheap compared to the northeast. No state income tax, much cheaper housing and even cheaper utilities all factor in, but even the property taxes are modest in comparison to what a lot of people are paying in places like NJ and NY. Keep in mind too that not every area in Florida is like the Miami metro area, so the comparison becomes even more dramatic when one heads farther north or northwest.

And as far as power is concerned, losing power for 7 days in FL is not remotely the same as losing power in NY or CT. One can still survive in FL without power and even cook outside on the grill. When you lose power for seven winter days in the northeast, you cannot stay in your house without a good generator and, if on an oil tank, sufficient heating oil in reserve.

^^^If you are on the gulf coast or nort of Vero Beach I agree with that, but if you have a desire to receive similar services(medical, schools, or better quality restaurants and shopping) to what was available in the northeast or Chicago you can believe what you like the median home price in Palm Beach County is I believe over 200K, with new homes in desirable locations starting in the mid 500s, Broward and Miami-Dade are similar, most homes in my area are well over 700K and it is becoming increasingly similar to where I lived in NYC and Long Island, with younger people looking to relocate to more affordable parts of the country like Georgia, Texas, the Carolinas and Tennessee
I don’t know if you can remember the 80s on Long Island but as the young people moved away service industries had a hard time filling jobs and that was responsible in a large part for the huge growth in illegal immigration that you so often bitch about, leading to very expensive costs to maintain a home. Think about the lawn service in your gated subdivision suddenly tripling it’s cost because they can’t find people to work and service your account, and keep going down the line a/c techs, auto techs, etc. untill the costs start to get out of hand, you’ll never understand, due to your political affiliations.

How did this go from discussing options for snowy weather strip clubbing - to migration, Florida and taxes?

I was looking forward to a dirty club trip - but now I’m thinking about my northeast tax burden - and I’m no longer aroused!!!

25, you need to get back to NY more if you think that $10k property tax bills and $500-700k home prices are whopping numbers compared to what they deal with up there, but I would agree that they are high for Florida. But you are also still talking about a tiny sliver of the state. North of Vero Beach and the Gulf Coast represents about 75% of the Florida coastline, nevermind the entirety of the inland parts of the state.

I don't know what the term "desirable" means to you, but I suspect that your need to be close to Miami has more to do with a need to be around people who share your political and cultural views more than anything else. Just so you know, there is a large contingent of Floridians who would be perfectly fine if the Miami metro area broke off of the rest of the peninsula and floated away to become its own island state. As far as my own views go, I don't think you've ever found me bitching about immigration. In fact, I think Trump's position on this is asinine as we need more immigrants, not less.

Better stay out of Georgia too. Don't forget that on average we get one snow storm a year dropping up to 2 inches and shutting everything down for a day or 2.

Everybody move to California and build a wall around it.

@Dugan there’s a pretty good sized contingent of Floridians that wouldn’t be against severing the northern part of Florida and forming our own state you’d lose about 40% of your revenues and we’d end up with the money we need to fix the infrastructure down here.
The y’all get back to chasing yer sista around the backyard. ;)
