I failed to seek it out last time I was in town. An honest to goodness dive, started by a Pacific war veteran, it was a welcome change to the "nothing was here before the 80s" corporate theme park landscape of Orlando. It even had a small Barney West Tiki in it, which, since it was not secured, I doubt will still be around. I left it there, though I was VERY tempted. A clear dilemma: I was probably the only person in a 100 mile radius who knew what it was, and some drunk might walk off with soon...yet I stayed true to my principles and listened to the white angel in my right ear.
