Celebrate 11-11-11 at area nightclubs
This Friday — 11-11-11 — is one of those cool dates where the numbers are the same. Unfortunately in the Midwest, 11-11-11 is not a happy date.
The last time this sequence occurred, on Nov. 11, 1911, “The Great Blue Norther” quickly plunged temperatures and spawned severe thunderstorms and deadly tornadoes.
Several locations set record high temperatures and record low temperatures on the same day, according to the National Weather Service historical data. In Oklahoma City, the record high temperature of 83 degrees occurred before the cold front came through and dropped temperatures to a record low of 17 degrees by midnight. A strong blizzard developed behind the front in the Ohio Valley. A dust storm struck Oklahoma. Nine tornadoes occurred including an F4 in Janesville, Wis.,that killed nine people. One hour later, survivors were working through near zero visibility in blizzard conditions to rescue people trapped by debris.
But not to worry, WHIO-TV meteorologist Jamie Simpson said there is no Blue Norther in our short-term forecast. Friday will be sunny and cool with highs in the upper 40s.
Several local bars are cashing in on the repeating date by throwing 11-11-11 shindigs. So celebrate the number 11 or toast to the 100-year anniversary of the Great Blue Norther by raising your glass at 11:11 p.m.
The former Jimmie’s Cornerstone closed up shop on Oct. 31 and has been making the move across the street to their new digs in an old Dayton firehouse. Jimmie’s Ladder 11 will appropriately celebrate its grand opening on 11-11-11 and will kick it all off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. that day. UPDATE I’m now told that they will have a second ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:11 p.m. if you missed it this morning.
Where: Jimmie’s Ladder 11, 936 Brown St., Dayton

Ciroc Ultra Premium is using the special date to promote their peach flavor vodka. They’ll be giving it away for free at Heat Nightclub. Cover is only $1 for everyone until 11:11 p.m.
And if there is a blizzard, you’ll be happy to be dancing someplace named Heat!
Where: Heat Nightclub, 6115 Brandt Pike, Huber Heights
More info: (937) 422-4601

you all are scared to come to Dayton? I have lived downtown for 9 years and I am in the oregon at least once a week. I have never had one single issue. You probably have never been downtown have you? Leave you lame-o’s out in the suburbs. It is nice when your wives and girlfriends want to get out so to avoid who they know they come downtown and my condo is a block away. Works out nicely everytime.

D’town is statistically the safest neighborhood in the city. If you go to a thug club, expect to see thugs. If you go to a biker club, expect to see bikers. C’mon people, there are plenty of decent clubs in and around Dayton. You’ve got to pick the scene that’s right for you, and not hate those that make other choices.
