The Final Chapter of the Evil Plot to Yuppify Uptown

Hey Folks!

For all of those in the know, the Uptown Bar is an awesome place, where one can see some killer live shows, get down with their bad selves, and get their hung-over ass a ginormous omelet the next morning. Well, the Uptown Bar is no longer to be. It is scheduled to be demolished. I don't know when, exactly, but soon. It was the last bastion of legitimacy on a street that already has a bunch of over-priced restaurants, an American Apparel store, a Victoria's Secret, and a Northface store. The longtime owner of the bar (it was a family run place, like all the best ones are) is retiring, and wanted to sell the place so he could get on with his life. The property went to the highest bidder, which in this case, was an Apple store. "Because yuppies need to get their computers fixed, I guess." Was the reasoning, overheard from an outraged fan of the famous music venue. So yeah - sad days. Sad days indeed. Stupid Uptown.
