A great write up of some my ‘hood’s divier bars, with adorable art-work.
This is obviously my favorite part:
“The clientele at Honky Mike’s was about one-third cops and one-third bikers. The Union Gospel Mission was nearby, so it was a gospel mission resident bar, too. One night a couple of guys came in to rob the place. They had guns and told the bartenders it was a holdup, and when the guys turned around there were about 30 guns aimed at them — half from the cops, and half from the bikers. And while I cannot confirm this, the police left for a bit while the bikers beat the hell out of them. That’s the story.” (via The Bars of Dayton’s Bluff | The Heavy Table)
