MaineJim's pic of Cantone's reminded me of this pic I took about 8 or 10 years ago. "Whiskey's" as it was known started as a good country music and line-dancing bar and evolved into a little bit of everything on different nights. It wound up doing a lot of 50's nights and had a tremendous Saturday evening cruse-in that would regularly bring 250 cars or more. Unfortunately it got sold, renovated, lost use of the neighboring parking lot, and now it's just a fraction of what it was though they try to keep it going. In it's heyday it was incredible fun.

Who can name them? The one I cannot may be Pat Nixon.
Here are six first ladies, 20 years ago next month, at a joint fund-raising appearance at the United States Botanic Garden in Washington. The body language seems revealing. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the incumbent president’s wife, confers with the widow of L.B.J., a Big Daddy for modern Democrats. Betty Ford turns to Barbara Bush, wife of the young Texan whose career her husband, Jerry, had once promoted, and away from Rosalynn Carter, whose Jimmy had thwarted Gerald Ford’s re-election. Former actress Nancy Reagan seems to be waiting for their cue to perform.
More startling, however, are the anachronisms in this tableau. The visual lineage of this scene is 19th-century America, with the women sitting among flowers, wearing ornate couture, separated from the men. But as we now know more in historical retrospect than we could have in 1994, each of these six women, strong and publicly activist, expanded the boundaries for the modern presidential spouse, one of them so much so that she may yet run again for president herself.

If you were in Boston in the late 70's and hit the clubs for underground rock you would remember this sign. One of the better places to see music.
