So long to Ritzy and farewell to Cinderella Rockafella – the long tradition of the great British nightclub appears to be on the way out.
Even famous London dance-music clubs such as Turnmills, Bagley’s and The End have succumbed to a process that has seen the UK’s total portfolio of nightclubs shrink by almost half from 3,144 in 2005 to 1,733 a decade later.
The statistic from the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR) is a signal not just of the effect of the smoking ban and the imposition of student loans but of a fundamental shift in the way a new generation chooses to spend its entertainment budget.
After a week listening to favourite playlists on Spotify, when friends on Facebook and WhatsApp have looked out so many other attractive weekend adventures that will make far better shots on Instagram, another Friday night at Mystique just doesn’t do it. And, as for pulling, there’s always Tinder.
“Millennials favour experiences over stuff and nightclubs should benefit from that,” says Ramzi Yakob, senior strategist of the digital agency TH_NK. “But Millennials also realise that their time is the scarcest resource they have, so why would they spend their precious time revisiting the same experience every weekend?”
My daughter got pulled over tonight in Midland Park for having an air freshener hanging from her rear view mirror.
Maybe that’s why the kids try to stay away from the clubs….not worth getting pulled over by Johnny Law.
It’s not even the end of the month…
Is that illegal? Seriously, your post didn’t have a “sarc off” tag and I’m wondering what motor vehicle ordinance was violated…
so true, and no money.
NJ Statute 39:3-74
in part says……….No person shall drive any vehicle so constructed, equipped or loaded as to unduly interfere with the driver’s vision to the front and to the sides.
i somehow doubt the intent of the law was to ban those smelly Christmas trees , but they need the cash tickets are an easy way to raise money for the towns
We knew that Waldwick PD chased ticket revenues but I had no idea that the MP police acted this way too.
I’ll go through Hawthorne now in order to get to Wyckoff.
These are chicken shit tickets. If that logic was applied fairly to all, every car with a gps on the windshield would be ticketed..
I notice lots of cars with illegal heavy tinted windows, usually driving like a jerk. Upon close examination many have pBA shields or are purchasers of those “badge of honor” license plates.. Question for you pd lurkers…. Do the drivers with those plates get a “pass” like the holder of pBA card?
Last week I noticed a parked older Mercedes with pBA member license plates and a pBA shield right next to the “new car dealer” inspection sticker that expired in 2010! Talk about arrogance
As the statue was adopted in 1921 and last amended in 1937, I agree with James that smelly Christmas trees weren’t specifically contemplated. Tinted window technology didn’t exist back then either. 12:11 pm is correct that laws are not enforced equally, but as a practical matter I don’t think that will win over the judge when you get a ticket for air fresheners, fuzzy dice, religious devotions, gps, or your girlfriends name painted on your windshield.
I believe that most often cars are stopped with these so that the officer can stop the vehicle and go fishing (license, registration, insurance, smell of alcohol or drugs, etc.). If stopped for something else, you are probably going to get a ticket (as opposed to a warning ) for windshield obstruction, license plate frame, etc for not being deferential and very polite to the officer.
