Doyles still drew the old Irish crowd, but suburban kids like me, and newer local working class residents in Jamaica Plain from P.R. and the Dominican felt right at home with the gov officials and other suits. It was one of the places where you may as well have been nekkid, cuz no one was impressed nor disappointed in your appearance. Your demeanor meant so much more.
It was wicked pissah.
Thereβs more than a few places like that in Chicago. Hopefully, they hang on.
Would be nice to preserve the heritage.
Unless itβs a southern joint.
Then, demolish it. Right Vic?
