Now it stands, still those bricks one on top of another, but inside all chars and cold. The sign out front has lost its neon and No Trespassing signs play neighbor to chain links keeping everyone who isn’t working on the place out. The bar tenders and familiar faces of the owners can be seen pushing brooms, wearing a working man’s garb and sneaking out for the occasional buy cigarettes online break. A single table is on the patio that would typically, by 3:30 in the afternoon on a summer day, be filled packed and bulging with the variety of Shadyside faces that could frequent such a place. And that was part of its magic, business men fresh from work drank the same beers that local hipsters did, flamboyant men strayed from the city’s gay bars to lock words with 40-something moms. Kids could be seen running around the patio. People leaned heavily into the internet jukebox searching for a sound to help the night along, a little more slowly maybe. Cigarettes burned through lungs as friends were made and loves were lost, and vice versa.
