Where is THE SIGN OF THE WHALE? G'town?
(This ain't the DeeCee version of The Spouter Inn is it?)
A-and where's the closest METRO stop?

Will the 3-card monte-banks be out in force? Will tipsy
fratboyz be the floorshow?
Hopefully NooAgue muzak will not be ambient; perhaps a jook with
Artie Shaw's Frenesi (or at least Begin the Beguine)?
Do they have sawdust on the floor?
Do they have the Pride of Bawlmer, Natty Boh?

And will the bar have a jar of:
1: Pickled eggs
2: hotlinx
3: pig's feet
or 
4: pig's tales?
