It ended up like this...

We didn't want to do anything too crazy. No titty bars and no night clubs, although we did end up at one. Acme Bar & Grill was a staple for the crew back in the day. We knew the staff pretty well just from going there all the time. we never paid cover or waited in line, we rarely paid for drinks and occassionally got into a private party to chill.

It's gone now...like our youth. in Its place is City Bar. Same crowd (college females), same atmosphere (dance club with bad music) and same REGULARS?!? Apparently two characters from back in the day were STILL going there. Miss Techno - a cow of woman who always danced on the bar, bad hairdo, fugly and "The Old Guy". Picture Ms. Techno in her denim short-shorts, sleeveless collared shirt dancing amongst everyone except she is now 40 pounds heavier and 10 years older.

"The Old Guy" was old even back then. A small, dwarfish man sporting a knitted baby blue tie and short sleeve "dress" shirt, black pants and his tan Hush Puppies perpetually looking wasted on cheap drinks and ogling the the 20-year-olds. Still there. Same clothes. Same wasted look. He needs his own Budweiser song. "Mr. baby blue tie and short sleeve "dress" shirt, black pants and tan Hush Puppies perpetually looking wasted on cheap drinks and ogling the the 20-year-olds Acme/City Ba-a-a-a-a-ar Guy"!

That'll never be us. Wait. We were there witnessing all of this. The best thing about being at this bar was were able to get some closure to the place since we disbanded after our party days and moved to different states. We even didn't have to pay cover. Smooth talking by yours truly.
