As I say, I continue to wonder just what this bar will be like and I fear that no one really has a clue as to how to do it..< Now it makes sense. I know it, but the writer is probably to young to ever have heard that term. Reminds me of last night, when me and my pal Pete Moruzzi finally made it downtown to the ultra hip Standard Hotel, to hear the Millionaire dj. Generation Gap dialog follows: Pete: "I'd like an Old Fashioned" Young pretty waitress: "WHAT is oldfashioned???"
