The Four Walls served a drink called the "Suffering Bastard" to underage kids approximately 1980. The surprising thing is that I remember this. A great atmosphere there nonetheless

Money ruins everything (see Citizens United)

I have moved many times. Counted the homes I've lived in at age 60 recently and it was approximately 35. I don't recommend it for anyone else. That said, this is very interesting
