Yeah, people are working on old Mother's bar. It had some of the greatest graffiti on it a few years ago. Somebody had painted the virgin Mary on the door, so you'd see that driving up Mt. Elliot. Then somebody did an amazing thing: They painted Alfred E. Neuman's face over the virgin. I used to laugh my ass off at that. Then somebody -- possibly an outraged Catholic -- blacked the whole thing out.
I sure do wonder what they intend to do with that space. A bar? Maybe not. So far the only people developing anything along south Conant or Mt. Elliot are the Bangladeshi and Yemeni communities, not well-known for drinking.
