Interesting statictics It appears more males are arrested for drunk driving than females. Looks like gender profiling to me. Where's my damn lawyer?

No, thank you. I agree with Prch and Fire. If you can't be responsible for yourself, then do not go. The Tiki Bar is a joke, and has been an issue for many years. Why does the Tiki bar have to arrange designated drivers? That says it all, right there. You know that many will not take advantage of that and will drive on their own. The Tiki Bar opeing is a joke, and always has been. They will make money at the risk of others. JMO Oh, I went once about 8 years ago. That is the basis for my comment. Not to mention how many LEO's they pull for the event. Stupid.

The reason I say this is I was born and raised in NOLA. A big party town, to say the least. At, Mardi Gras, I saw people stabbed at random in a crowd just because they could be. I saw people so sick from alcohol that I thought they were dead. I saw LEO overlook weed smoking because they had to get to more urgent things. I saw people having sex in the streets and people ignoring because they couldn't comprehend it. If we are not careful, our beautiful out of the way part of the country will, eventually, be corrupt as other places. jmo

Peeing in someones's yard will be a non-issue. Trust me.

mama, sorry i have to disagree with you on this one. Sadly one big thing lacking in Calvert county and Saint Marys county is any kind of real mass transit or taxi companies. Most people i know personally always arrange their own designated driver beforehand that go to this event. I think the fact that they do try to organize a designated driver campaign is good. If you can keep 1, 2 or 10 drunk drivers off the road i think that is a good thing. Tiki Bar opening is a busy weekend for me and i have been down there for this working for at least the last 4 or 5 years. Yes the island is blanketed in LEO's and that is strictly a matter of Public Safety, to not let people get too out of control,trust me there are probably going to be checkpoints and saturation patrols set up on both sides of the bridge. I have never been to Mardi Gras before, however i understand there is a pretty large police presence there also.

DAD, you make some good points. I was, also, thinking today that Tiki Bar opening is probably really good for all the businesses around Solomons. It is, also, probably not fair to compare it to Mardi Gras. I just saw a lot of bad things happen back in the day. It got so bad that our parents wouldn't allow me and my bros to go to Mardi Gras anymore, as long as we were still living with them. Thanks for your feedback!
 
Like the Tiki , but maybe twice a year in the afternoon. Not on opening day for sure.
There are places I like much better.

I remember when i worked down at PAX inthe 80's that the opening day of Tike Bar wasn't all that much of a big thing and remember stopping by there on my way home from work in the afternoon and drinking a beer or 2. I am not sure what year the opening started to explode into such a big event. However i don't think i have ever drank a mai tai there, i may have tasted a friends, i am pretty much a beer kind of guy

Imagine the sweetest red kool aid ever and add just pinch of rotgut liquor aftertaste. BOOM! You have just imagined a mai tai. Personally I like the Tiki Lemonades, but mine are much better. I think the DD program is a good idea too. We have ours already lined up.

I don't know where you worked, but where I worked, all the 20 somethings would take a long lunch on opening day. It was none of my business, as far as I was concerned. Kids will be kids. :shrug:

I know the names have changed all over the base since i worked there, and the name of the base has changed also.. In my day C.S.D. Computer Services Directorate, S.E.T.D. Systems Engineering and Test Directorate, N.A.L.C Naval Aviation Logistical Center, T.P.D. Test Pilot Directorate, also worked at VX-1 ?? Long time ago trying to remember, don't blast me if i am a little off. The base and Lex. Park does not look the same to me at all since i worked there. I used to eat regularly at a place called The Happy Hamburger on 235, remember the Belvedere, and many other places. PS wasn't a kid when i worked at PAX.
