THE BARS OF LYNN

Night of 25 August 1986

28 The Hall of Fame

This is Lynn's only true sports bar. Maybe that says it all.
We were carded here. The barmaid thought I didn't look my age.
Then she said "Jim you look like Ron Howard with the moustache."
Jim replied, "Anyone but him."
"You'd like to have his money though!",she said.
"He does",I lied.
"Then how come you're buying the beers?",she replied.

We shut up and quit while we were behind. Plenty of TV's and posters of Boston sports heros. Cold beer. No darts.

Reading notes

  • Research lead: the subtitle "(recently the Trolley Car)" gives a former name, which may be easier to trace in licence records than the Hall of Fame.
