New York and Los Angeles are obviously light years ahead of Chicago in terms of fashion... I also find the Bay Area to be pretty darn fashionable when they can get past that crunchy outdoorsy B.S. But ATLANTA?!?!?

Whoa. Just whoa. Why not add Boise to that list while you're at it?

Red face I will step off my lectern now...

...but I emphasized a certain word to make a point.

Obviously, to each his own--there is more than one type of lifestyle. But I personally wouldn't want to close down any bar on a regular basis; sooner or later, you have to wonder why you're there so late, and so often. I don't think anyone enjoys leaving their youth behind, but at some point you have to (especially when those younger than you start calling you "sir").

Also, in general, you don't tend to meet the "pillers of society" roaming around at 4 AM. I have learned at least that much!

To each is own indeed. But the reason why pittsteelersfan's posts get so much pushback is that he doesn't observe this credo himself. It's not just that he states his preferences, but does so in a tone where his preference is the only correct one, and then argues interminably with anyone who doesn't recognize his personal preferences as objectively superior.

As you get older, you SHOULD live in at least a 1-bedroom apt, and not a studio..

You SHOULDN"T stay out until 4:00 AM on a consistent basis...

You must really enjoy living under a "nanny state" government.

What if you get off work at 11pm or midnight? You cant stay out to the bar until 4am?

Hogwash.

Let me get this straight now, drinking for 4 or 5 hours (especially at that hour) after work is normal for someone? "Hogwash"?.......

Your statement does not even deserve a response and neither does any of your future posts on any subject.
