RIP Church Street

Some very sad news. Today marks the final weekend of Church Street Station as we know it.



The money grubbers that own this wonderous waterhole that had given us our fondest and best memories of Miami, have decided to tear it down and put up shiteous apartments and a "new" bar in its place. Probably a trendy bar. Probably a bar with $16 drinks and cutesy tables that don't fall over or clash with the overall decor of the place. Disgusting.

We noticed a few subtle changes in the Church when we were back for Blugunion - new decor and accoutrement, some newfangly digital jukebox that had current music, and a new cast of bartenders that actually charged us for our drinks. No $6 tabs today.

I think it is safe to say that our best memories of College were at the church. I present to you, for your consideration, ten moments that defined church street and our experience with the most glorious bar in our existence.

10. Melissa showing up at the bar on Geek week in only a robe (sans pants) and dancing on the picnic table
9. Karla walking in teary eyed, post breakup (with a guy who's name will shall not blog post) and our retaliation of beating every single photohunt score to post his name along with "has a little D" and other in the top 10 scores
8. When crazy brandon punched through the TV
7. Bartenders and subsequent hookups & friendships with said bartenders (Brian the bouncer, Jack the snack, Jake the snake, etc)
6. Dan Palace
5. Erotic photohunt
4. The Jamie Frankel/Homeplate incident and subsequent drenching
