That Old Pub at Ninth and M

The old pub at Ninth and M is going to come down, I guess. The editor remembers that it seemed to be closed in the late seventies and opened, in a fashion, for some time in the very early eighties. The "some time" is an appoximation of things past, and it could be months or even a couple of years. Since then, it has been closed up and vacant, at least insofar as an official certificate of occupancy is concerned.

Here it is Saturday morning:

The editor was convinced that Saturday was its last day, but in the afternoon the dinky little backhoe was gone and some sewer work had been done.
