Been a Hell of Week. I'll Meet You At Smith's

This is from James T. Murray and Karla L. Murray's Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York (Gingko Press), featured in this Sunday's New York Times Book Review. This is how all bars should look. Sometimes, I think I was born 50 years too late.

Hey, Duane! I loved your blog. My name’s Antônio Moura and I’ve been assigned to translate your book The Wheel Man into Portuguese, my first language. Wow! That’s… breathtaking, to say the least. You really know how to tell a story, Duane. I’m enjoying it a lot. I’m so happy to have been given such a great opportunity. Congratulations, man!
My e-mail address is antonio.moura@ymail.com Hope you have a great weekend! I sure will, because I’ll be reading all about Lennon. He’s already clothed, that’s for sure. I can’t wait to find out whether he will own a business and have money in the bank “by the end of the year”.

Hey, Antonio! Thanks for stopping by. I'll email you later today...

Michael: True. Is it worth checking out? Does it still have that old man bar vibe to it?
