Oh yeah? This is what Friday night at the saloon looks like:
?ÿ
Any city named for a civil engineer surely has more than one saloon open on Friday evening.?ÿ Which saloon??ÿ Painted Lady, Kate's, Spanky's, Lincoln Highway Tavern?
I think I detect some photoshop in Mark's photo.
No photoshop in that picture.?ÿ
The Lincoln Tavern has fallen from local grace, Spanky's porch is still a bit cold and windy, plus the several feet of snow piled up.
I think there are fewer bars in that town per capita than in Salt Lake City, the moral compass of the west.
There is also the matter of Guinness beer. I am not sure if the other establishments cater to the elitist Guinness crowd with tapped kegs. LDO claims ownership of the keg at Kates and I get run out of the place for taking a single pint of 'his' keg.?ÿ
@mark-silver?ÿ When I rolled into Evanston in 1969 with the USFS, the population was just over 4,000 or so, and there were 13 bars/saloons. I'm pretty sure that I visited them all over the next few years. Today the population is just north of 12,000, and there are only half a dozen "bars," although there are several that are currently closed, up for sale, or on hiatus. There are a few newer "Hotels" that probably have some of the "old" liquor licences, but I haven't been in any of them. There is also the golf club and VFW which serve drinks, but I don't get into them very often. I'm too old to spend much time in saloons anymore, so there are still plenty of venues for my purposes.
