Thanks to the small, but loyal, group that braved the many obstacles created by the Downtown Art Walk to see the historic King Edward Saloon. When this event was planned, it was thought that the Art Walk would entice many people, who would otherwise be squeamish about going into L.A.'s Skid Row to visit one of the oldest bars in this city. Little did we know, that this "bad" part of town would be crawling with thousands of art lovers, making traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) and parking impossible.
That said, the few that made it through the hordes of bodies, where treated to the many unusual moments created by the unique space, including a random patron buying our group a round of drinks for no apparent reason, another anonymous patron charging his cell phone in the outlet near our table, forcing us to tap on the glass of the "smoker's chamber" every time his phone rang. For those who have never been to this bar, there is a smoke-filled, adjoining glass room where smoking is allowed.
In addition, our group was treated to some great ghost stories from Craig's recent visit to Riverside's very strange and Gothic Mission Inn.
A ghoul time was had by all.
