Wooden Nickel Pub closes
News from Home
It's the end of an era.
Man, this is hard to believe. The Wooden Nickel Pub was the site of dates, bitch sessions, and even a few first kisses. It was my little sister's favorite hangout from junior high on, and she still has many friends there. I can't believe it's closing after all these years. This weekend is the end. I'm glad we went to lunch there when we were home in November.
The article says the Wooden Nickel has been open for "over 25 years," and I believe it. In fact, I think it was already there in 1978 when I went to see the original Star Wars at the cinema next door with my uncle and aunt. The cinema's turned into a bank now, and my uncle passed away a few years ago, but I guess I thought the Wooden Nickel Pub would always be there.
Farewell, Camel Rider...
