Whatever happened to the 25 cent beer?


January 2nd


Day two of my Project 365 - so I took a stroll along memory lane (Main & Terminal) and dropped by my early 1970's haunt - The American Hotel.

Ahhhh...the good old days.

Quarter beers, cigarette smoke, beer soaked terry-cloth table covers, Doobie Brothers on the juke box, and who could forget the great 11.00pm fights? - and those were just the girls!

Unfortunately, I was also busted there for underage drinking - and now, sadly, the doors to the American Hotel are closed.

The ironic part of this photo is, back then we would have never imagined forking over $2.00 for a glass of beer.

Times change....
