1021, observations and Ask yourself "do you feel lucky?"
[QUOTE=Drywall;1220687]I have been a silent member for awhile now and before that a guest monitoring on a daily basis. I have been to all the establishments talked about on here and even a few that haven't been. When there is so much discussion about a place like 1021 it is only a matter of time before LE does something about it. You can't wave a red cloth in front of a bull and then be suprised when he charges. There can be to much information at times and it would be a shame if my favorite place is shut down due to lack of discretion.[/QUOTE]The location is a quite busy area for LE with possible bigger things to worry about, but with the schools around there ending for the summer maybe more idle hands to check other local activites in the general area, but then again I don't know.
We all take a calculated risk going to any of these local places of " their number" getting called while we drop a visit.
I ve gone to Lilly's more than once with " presence" right across the street and Pleasant st with presence during construction activity too.
It is unfortunate hazard of the hobby.
Many times we have mentioned this isn't PH forum.
The tension / ambivalence is how much?
A senior member or a long time reg who RTF could write " I visited so so place and saw so and so and had an excellent typical experience." I would understand what that would mean, but a newbie or someone from out of the area wouldn't know what that meant.
A typical 10', OS, or CH visit differs from NMS or Lilly typical visits but the challenge is the communication of distinctions without it being some kind of double secret lodge code and handshake?
