Raise a glass? No, lift a few bottles cause there's nothing left for us to do, we'll be swept out with the trash and very shortly, too. So guzzle up...glug glug glug
Could never bring myself to go to the new space.
Difficult to "think happy thoughts" these days as the city is quickly vanishing...
The P&G was my first hangout when I moved here. At my last stop at the new place Steve told me that they still had the old sign and were trying to raise enough money to restore it. I guess that's not going to happen now. A Subway or Chipotle will probably move in. Depressing.
My band was supposed to play there on Aug. 27th. They have a really nice PA system and the soundman was really good. I enjoyed playing there. I hope it's a false alarm like the last time. Somehow, I doubt it.
Sad.....very, very sad.
