[...] Why do places need a caberet license to allow dancing? Why is this culture so against dancing they require a permit for it to happen? I was thinking about Ken’s story in New Hampshire, but it’s true out here in San Francisco as well. The only difference is, bar owners pay the fee and people will dance out here…this is the sign in front of Este Noche, a gay Latino bar. The last time I went in there two guys were on pedestals in tight underwear doing something you might call dancing, and yes, it probably should have required a permit. [...]

Thanks Ken, I went to Portsmouth tonight for dinner, we were gonna try a fancy place or something like that. We had a friend visiting from CA and I wanted to show her the town I grew up in. The house I lived in was still there and little league field was covered in snow. We went to the friendly toast which I had been to three times before for breakfast. I had breakfast food for dinner and a Pabst. I didn’t even realize that one of places we tried to eat was where peaveys used to be. My brother and I tried to explain the old town where we grew up but could not find the words. Or maybe the places. Thanks Ken for sharing.

Interesting. I suppose shop owners realized just how much money was coming from military families. Thanks for some back story.

Great story. Used to write like that myself, once upon a time. Moved here in 70 from NY. Stationed here in 62 at Pease. I remember things like Gilley’s in market sq. Scott Jewelers where the toast is now. GI’s used to set up an account and pay down their debt every payday. I remember towns people complaining about the large population of NAvy and Air Force in town and how things “used to be different before we got there” Then one payday we were all paid in silver dollars. After that…… never heard much complaining from townspeople. Aey yuh

Nice story…to me the last straw was Peavey’s being replaced with Goody fucking Two Shoes. A town without a hardware store is no longer a real town; the yuppie takeover is complete.
