Does anybody know where LIQ is? Does anybody know her, and know if anything happened to her? This is clearly not a case of being lazy and not posting. Ok, this is a big mystery.

Thats always a first step. Dominies plays good music... but the crowd there can still be annoying. Has anyone noticed that LIC Bar plays their music way too loud recently? it didn't used to be like that. Good tunes. But I hate yelling.

The place used to be a real stinking dump, just filled with barflies and local characters with their racing forms. The beer was cheap, but that was about the only thing the place had going for it. But a bunch of young people started to hang there and really soon the place became a scene and was a lot of fun. 116, I remember years ago, in the mid-’80s, something like this happened at the bar at the corner of Vernon and 50th.

I do agree with #112. However, if you want something to happen, you might just have to do it yourself (remember, DIY?). Make friends with a bartender, ask if you can DJ, invite your friends, get bands to play, promote it. That way if it sucks, then its your own fault. None of the bars in LIC are exactly overflowing with people from what I can gather, so they might like the business. #114 – The snow caused the service crews to cancel from what I heard.

I think it probably is unrealistic at this stage of Hunters Point's development to expect a bar like that. There's a direct relationship between the number of project managers in your neighborhood and how lame the bars are. Fortunately, that's something I never had to deal with when I was your age. 108, it’s 107. I think it probably is unrealistic at this stage of Hunters Point’s development to expect a bar like that.
