RON SWARNER: LET IT ROLL, BABY, ROLL >>>
Doyle’s Public House co-owner Russ Heaton just sent me a reminder that tomorrow is Repeal Day. Last year, Heaton threw this statement my way:
In his reminder to me, Heaton stated, “This is not a plug for my bar, but for every bar. Tacoma is proud to support the constitution. I like the idea of buying strangers drinks in celebration.â€
I love that idea, too.
Better yet, I think it would be cool to celebrate tomorrow in a roadhouse of years gone by. You know, the kind with an unpaved parking lot filled with roadsters. The tinny sounds of a honky-tonk piano come drifting through the night air, mixed with laughter and the tinkling of many glasses. Inside, card tables are packed with sharp-faced hoodlums in fedoras, flanked by their even tougher-looking molls. Ida Lupino, or maybe Lauren Bacall, is draped across a piano in some impossibly slinky, sequined evening dress, belting out a torch song as a skinny kid tickles the ivories. George Raft or maybe Humphrey Bogart is slouched at a corner table, bourbon in hand and cigarette on lip, squinting cynically through the smoky blue haze.
Does this exist in the South Sound? I’m drawing a blank.
Maybe I will just go to Doyle’s.
