User Tip - You Know If You Belong

During my High School years in Baltimore, there was a club on North Avenue named O’Dell’s. This club had a motto that appeared on black and white bumper stickers throughout the city that read: “O’Dell’s – You Know If You Belongâ€. Since this club was in a mostly black neighborhood, many people thought the motto implied if you are white, you didn’t belong.

If you ever entered the club (which I did at least twice a week) you instantly understood the true meaning. At any given time in the evening (O’Dell’s was open until 6 am), 95% of the crowd would be dancing and sweating on the dancefloor. The other 5% were refilling their cups from the grape juice fountain at the end of the large room (no alcohol was served at O’Dell’s).

This was not a place for spectators. You came here to participate - On the dancefloor - All night long.

“You know if you belongâ€. If you came to watch – you didn’t belong.
