OC has a niche that should be maintained. If teens want to party, Wildwood and Margate are not far away.

Margate is a party town? Margate always makes me think of old people reminiscing about "memories at margate".

Bars are busy there. Beaches are full all night.

Of young people?

rossdowdell t1_j6kqg9w wrote on January 31, 2023 at 12:38 AM

The beaches, yes. Quite a few under 21 get in the bars.

More teens in Wildwood, but OC should not be the party town. Leave OC as it has always been.

Agreed. I just didn't know that other towns tolerated the fukery that Wildwood does beside it creeping into OC.

They can't arrest them; but they can hold them until the parents come get them...

That'll be great when the parents are an hour away....

Yet another reason to be grateful for birth control.

Condoms aren't 100%. The pill isn't 100%. Spermicide isn't 100%. Plan B isn't 100%. Hormonal IUDs are statistically better getting tubes tied but not 100%.

Stack those probabilities in your favor.

Here's hoping your kid doesn't ever get you hauled down to Ocean City.

And this is why abortion is such a vitally important right we need to protect.

OC thrives on 2 groups: old people looking for a quiet vacation, and families with young children looking for a family-friendly vacation. Loud teens vaping/getting drunk/smoking weed on the boardwalk are not only not part of either of the 2 groups mentioned, but those 2 groups tend to reallllly hate loud/obnoxious teens. Makes sense OC wants to put a stop to it

Legalize abortion in the 45th trimester.

This should also be in r/whatcangowrong

Dear teens, if you’re bad this summer, we’re going to call your mom. Love, Ocean City
