So Long, Two Bells

Well, the Two Bells has been a Belltown fixture for a very long time.  It was where I conducted most of my business for Mackris v. O'Reilly back in the day.  And I managed to go there at least several times a year, every year.  I even played a few gigs there during my jazz days.  So it's with a note of sadness that we say goodbye.  The owners decided to retire.  What's in store for it?  Uncertain.  I hope that something good emerges from it.  The crummy neighborhood should have more joints like the Two Bells.

Sweet Becko and I stopped in for a final drink on our way to the Space Needle last night.

The place was really hopping.  Others appreciated it, too.  I'm sad to see it go.
