Photo Series: Last Night At The Woodland Lounge

c>log
The Woodland Lounge – a shoebox sized tavern in a little strip center in a midwestern city. The bar, for some twenty or twenty-five years catered to those who golfed and enjoyed a few cocktails after their round of golf. The Woodland Lounge also saw its share of patrons who drank all day and played cards until their wives called them home. The evenings were filled with live entertainment that could only be called smoky lounge music. A crude handpainted mural on the east wall of the bar involves a golf theme and the images of who are most likely the original owners and/or investors in the tiny neighborhood tavern. These are the last pictures of the Woodland Lounge. It will meet the wrecking ball in the morning. The last night at the Woodland Lounge. The walls then came down and all those memories rose up into the air upon a cloud of dust.

    Great little bar but very smoky. They had oil filled lights on the tables and live music almost every night. Are they scraping that whole shopping center? Thanks Eric for the pics. Jim Bartz Gorey,Ireland
