In a handful of whiplash-inducing decades, homosexuality has gone from illegal to celebrated. It was only obvious to serve a mess of liquor to said gathered queers, and what began in secret became the dance floors and lounges that have enriched our culture in ways both trivial and profound ever since. When popular convictions misalign with your life, you find places to exist or you won't. By necessity, those gatherings are as much about sex as mutual support. Gay people have always come together, whether out in the open or not. They'll tell you about the uncouth activities that could only happen decades ago (in public).Ī good gay bar is where a community center meets a bathhouse. They'll tell you about The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an organization of drag nuns who disturb as much peace as they make. Every regular has a story about The Hole's debauched antics-they'll tell you about Blowjob Alley, a long hallway made famous for its namesake, or their first go at the Wet Underwear Contest, where Ophelia Later, San Diego's greatest drag queen, held court over all manner of shivering, vulnerable men.
Sexual tensions wax and peak among the crowd, and things happen here that wouldn't fly most anywhere else. Among the crowd, holding a quarter-gallon $8 cocktail, with an ocean breeze and the California sun, you'll unclench. Where the world outside is way too real, this feels like gay Margaritaville. To descend through its tree-shaded entrance into the morass of sloshed humanity below is to hallucinate a back-hair-fleeced mirage. Sunday is the only day it turns a profit. Once known as The 19th Hole, it sits at the bottom of a century-old ditch in the ground, lending two excuses for the least subtly-named bar since The Cock. If you feel it's unwarranted please message me and I'll see what I can do.The Hole stands on a bleached, sprawling San Diego street, between faceless auto shops and the iridescent green of a neighboring golf course.
Mods don't check every post every day, but do respond to every message, so feel free to contact them. If you have any issues on the sub please feel free to message the mod. If you see a sale, a discount, or something special go ahead and slap it up here, the community will decide what's acceptable in that case. If it's weekly, post it once a week, and note that it's weekly. If you have a get-together, a hoedown, or an event, post it once. If you want to form your own subreddit for that, go for it.
No personal contact, no other people's personal info, including license plate numbers. Post your question WITH A LINK TO CONTACT POLICE. In the past I've given some leeway but I'm tired of being ignored on this. That is not acceptable, and I will from here on in delete posts asking, and ban users for a second offense. If you get something stolen and need to spread the word, DO NOT ask for a PM if "anyone knows the guy". This sub isn't a platform for vigilantism. It says most everything we need to have a good civil community here in r/northcounty. If you haven't done it recently, re-read the Reddiquette (you read it all, right?). Here's a recent post: What is there to do in North County? San Marcos! LA! LJ! OC! IE! 909! LB! CSUSM! Poway! O'side! Esco!įeel free to post your roommates wanted, yard sales, North County-related subreddits, and show announcements here, too. Here's some other So Cal links (as they come in): Here's a multi of the North County-related subs I've found so far.
Whatever's going on in Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Escondido, Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside, Leucadia, RB, Poway, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, Ramona, Rainbow, Fallbrook, or any of the other disparate bits of the north marches of sunny San Diego county. Just don't be a jerk or say the pandemic is a hoax and you'll be fine. This isn't a free speech free fire zone, nor am I the government curtailing your right to say terrible things, so your First Amendment rights aren't being curtailed. For the however many'th time, if you don't like my moderation, make your own North County subreddit and go to town, I don't care. Sorry for any mixed signals.Ībusive, intimidating, racist, or threatening speech isn't tolerated here. r/northcounty isn't a dating/hookup subreddit, and isn't built to contend with that sort of thing, so I'm not going to allow those posts anymore. The users made it abundantly clear they're not interested. Yet another rule: no affiliate marketing stuff, no click the link to save, none of that.
