Racey, I like the atmosphere at the South Philly location. And I go to the one in the Northeast too but it's not exactly lively there anymore. Last time I was there it was a Tuesday night. I think 6 of us closed the place.
I'm one of those old men Manu was talking about except I like to think I know what I'm doing. Anyway, I feel safe enough leaving those OTB's at night.
But to be completely forthright, I don't go to OTB's much anymore because I get tired of going outside to smoke. I imagine the smoking bans are killing these OTB's and yea, that's sort of ironic.
