Triple O's in Southie.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

If that's the place I think it is, I'll second it. I used to take some classes at Massasoit CC when I was trying to decide what I wanted to be when I growed up. I'd go in between classes with a buddy and we'd order 2 beers each and throw down a buck for each round. Sometimes we never made it to our afternoon classes.

Another place I'd stumble into on occasion was Joe and Jim's in Holbrook. I don't know the real name of the place, but everyone knew it as that. I could go there when I was 19 because they didn't do much of a job checking ID's.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The Tender Trap on Long Island has to be it for me. Bunch of us high school seniors decided to go there one night to see some "exotic" dancing. The entire inside of the place looked like someone's basement painted all black, smelled like the men's room in Penn Station, I think the bathroom was out back. For .50 you got about 6 oz of warm Schmidtz in a jelly jar glass that no doubt had never been washed. I guess one of the stripers was off duty and decided to borrow some money from a patron while his head was turned. All of a sudden we hear, "I hate f'ing bar theives," and turn to see this guy clock the chick. She goes down on the floor in heap, out cold, no one did a thing, she just lay there slumped on the floor he went back to his perch at the bar. We left that place like the Delta brothers leaving the Dexter Lake Club.

T-San's on the outskirts of Fall River. It was owned by Professor Turo Tanaka, the pro wrestler. Also the clubhouse of the Sidewinders MC, a local biker gang. When I worked for Stop and Shop, the Asst. Produce Manager was the road captain for the Sidewinders, and he'd take us there after union meetings at the old Durfee HS.

The Port O'Call in Buzzards Bay is another biker dive. But I haven't been in there in years.

Nah! I was done with that scene by then. I'm talking in the '70's
I got my azz kicked real good there once! Broke a couple of bones in the fight. Went back on crutches a few days later and had my revenge on one of the perps with that crutch.
Never saw him there again.

Aquarius in Quincy.....mid 1980's. No cover....buck drafts all night! Crap faced on a 10 spot and all the fights you could handle! Night like that today would cost you $20 easy!

Close second.....Chet's in Weymouth! Biker bar.....I remember you had to turn sideways to get in the mens room to take a leak!

Oh! Honorable Mention for the Ranch House in Marshfield! Bounced there for a few years after I separated! $40.00 bucks a night, free drinks after shift and lots and lots of exercise! I hate MOSH Pits!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
