Editorial Review

This dingy bar used to make up in character what it lacked in tidiness, but gone are the rickety, dirt-coated wooden furniture and pool table. In their place are cafeteria-style tables and a makeshift low-rise stage where local music acts play to an indifferent crowd. Is this progress?
