May, 1983 I was still managing Castleton Square I, II, III, a General Cinema movie theatre located inside the mall. And since I was on a salary, I worked from 10 am to midnight 6 days a week. It sucked. It sucked big time. But, I still made it to the bars after work compliments of my handy dandy fake ID.
Talbot Street and The 21 Club were my bars of choice back then. Talbot Street was a preppy upscale 3 level bar located in the old Black Curtain dinner theatre building. The 21 Club, just a few doors down from Talbot Street, was a very informal and "down to earth" bar. There was a lot of rivalry between the two bars; Talbot Street patrons looked down on the 21 Club crowd, and the 21 Club group thought the people at Talbot Street were snobby and stuck up. So, I went to both bars! Normally, I would first go to Talbot Street and then walk down to the 21 Club an hour or two later. Those were great times back then.
I was also car jacked two months earlier, and I celebrated my 21st birthday 4 months later!
