Bloomie To Ruin City Again

So as you may know, Bloomberg got re-elected today. Which steams me pretty good. I voted for him last time but not this time.

The thing that probably bothers me most about him is he tries to sneak things in on you. And before you know it, it’s too late to do anything about it.

Go and read about this new proposal to close bars at 1 am. Horrifying! I mean, really isn’t the reason that we love New York partially based on it being The City That Never Sleeps?

If this goes through, it will become like every other lame city. I actually think that the bars in DC close at 2 am instead of 1. So we will became lamer than the DC nightlife. Youch.

It’s not so much that I always utilize the 24 nature of the city but I love the fact that if I wanted to at almost any hour I could:

–get something to eat at a restaurant
–get something from a bodega
–go get a drink

I was joking the other day that what’s next is going to be curfew. But it’s the logical next step. Smoking ban. Late night bar closures.

The next headline might read:
“MAYOR GROUNDS CITY FOR STAYING OUT TOO LATE. NO PHONE CALLS, TV, OR COMPUTER GAMES EITHER.”
