Weren’t very many bars in NE, wouldn’t happen to have been in the Catholic University neighborhood by any chance?
I may be confusing things; my Dad grew up in the Petworth area; attended the little church where they have the St. Gaudens statue in the Rock Creek cemetery; and as a boy, he delivered newspapers to the Old Soldier’s Home - the old guys used to leave apples for him, in his wagon.
I grew up on the other side of North Capitol, NE. North Capitol divides NE and NW.
Not sure where the bar was, but I liked that cherry :-)
