Great article on the King Eddy Saloon. Thx for posting it Lwize.

Looks like the Metropolitan was possibly in the old Douglas Building (J&M Reid, 1898), 19th century, but just barely. It's another lofted one with a somewhat modernized base. Impressive collection of mounted heads. I can't even count the number of chairs.

And thx from me too Lwize. It seems the Yuppie search for an authentic experience keeps pushing it just out of reach.
