RE: “Yes, It’s True: Iconic Portland Dive Bar Club 21 Is Closing” [Blogtown, Jan 10]. “The bar will do its last days of business this weekend, with the Club’s final night being Sunday, January 15,” wrote Senior Editor Ned Lannamann. “The iconic building itself will be demolished at some point to make room for a large mixed-use building…. Club 21 was just one of many businesses to make its home beneath that odd, chateau-like roof since the 1930s, when it opened as a Russian orthodox church. This is the last weekend to enjoy one of Portland’s great dive bars.”

2017 celebrity deaths will apparently all be bars I love.
