FAREWELL to the CROW BAR

The Crow Bar was a DC gathering place for several years.  It boasted, and rightly so, that it was DC's only "biker bar."  The Crow Bar closed it's doors on June 27, 1998 and for a last hurrah had a block party.  The streets were lined on both sides and all available sidewalk space was taken by bikes.  It was a great party and featured everything you could want, firetrucks, beer, burn outs, wheelies, bare breasts, water balloon fights and even a real fight, sorta.  A few months ago the entire block was was gouged out.  Nothing was left but a block sized hole in the ground for a new high rise office building.  Rumors have been circulating of a new Crow Bar, but it is still just a rumor.  So sad ... :-(
