I don't think I would classify either location as particularly "ghetto,' at least in the truest sense of the word.

Yeah, DeltAlum, it isn't dangerous. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GOES ON??
Some of these guys come from having a "record"... You THINK they SHOULD behave like adult--cuz that's what they are--BUT they do NOT. They stay involved in questionable situations.
Old gang member friends sneak up on them and exhort from them demanding the VIP card access. There is jealousy and anger because someone is envious of one's success... Family members start to act crazy because a lot of money is being exchanged...
And these kinds of situations tend to precipitate fast... It's like one has to say to these players to stay away from the "appearance of evil"... And young people have that naievete [sp?] of that "wait and see" attitude. Life experiences dictates leaving... Hey, the dress code and the music type would tell me immediately what kind of party it would be--no coat check, guys in orange mink hats and coats with too much jewelry and scantily claded women with no coats... No, that would NOT be a place I would frequent...
Besides, I no longer do dive bars... My judgement call is if they don't know what a "cosmo" is, then hey I can leave... But that's my defense mechanism.
