The only place I would ever go to now in Bal’more would be the regular tourist areas and I would make a hasty retreat before the vampires come out for dinner.
In my miss-spent youth, I was known to head-bang, imbibe copious amounts of spirits, and try to meet the Rock and Roll gal of my dreams at Hammerjacks. However, I survived that scandalous part of my youth with the greater part of my brain cells intact. :-D
There used to be a dwarf headbanger that was a minor celebrity, because she was there all the time.
I remember it had the most expensive beer in town, something like 3 dollars for a can of Budweiser. In 1985.
LOL. Hammerjacks! Just seeing the ads in the Baltimore alternative weekly and hearing the ads on DC101 made me think, “I’ll just stay in town and go to a movie or to the 9:30 Club.”
