McSorleys is my favorite bar in NYC and it's hardly changed a lick

Damn - you were reading my mind - I was going to post the same pic! The place has barely changed!

The sawdust on the floor I still can't figure out the reason for.

So people could spit tobacco ?

Don’t forget that right near that bar, is Cooper square and Cooper union college, the building which the man himself Abe Lincoln gave his Cooper Union Address in the basement-on February 27, 1860 opposing the spread of Slavery that his opponent DEMOCRAT Stephen A Douglas SUPPORTED. I cry everytime I read this speech, I mean my God, this was a man raised in the wilderness! And the genius! I get so angry how Democrats have succeeded so much in distorting history. Tell a black kid in his teens that Abe Lincoln was a Republican and chances are 99 out of 100 he won’t believe you. It’s disgusting what our schools have become.

If you want to talk about something that hasn’t changed, that building hasn’t changed an atom since 1859. The most I can tell is they added a water tower but that’s about it.
