To the Editor:
First and foremost, I wish nothing but prosperity to the owners and the staff of Bird and Betty’s. However, for those of us of the “’70s Youth Culture,” B and B was the Acme Hotel – whitewashed, cheap drinks and always 3 or 4 inches of standing water in the men’s room. Wonderful!
The doors were nailed shut with plywood soon after Labor Day. The journalist in me remembers the shabbiness. The then-18-year-old (yes, it was legal to drink at 18 years of age then) remembers well … the memories.
