Yahoo news report

It's extremely sad. I drive by that place everyday, it's one of my favorite places to just sit and look out the window, there hasn't been much indication of anything out of the ordinary happening.

Imperial House

The Imperial House is located on the ground floor of a fancy retirement condo building in Banker's Hill. It's also attached to a fancy restaurant. The bar/lounge looks and feels like the Regal Beagle from Three's Company. The place is full of red Naugahyde booths, and the tables are covered in a white table cloth with a flickering oil lamp. The wait staff and the bartender wear white button down shirt with black bow tie, black vest, and black pants.  This is a classy joint. But the drinks are well made, cheap, and it's never crowded.  On weekends is a keyboard player playing dance favorites from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. And if you're lucky, someone who was born in one of those decades will ask you to dance with them. The music is just loud enough to make you want to get up and dance, but not too loud to have a conversation. The place is super low-key, and the clientele is eclectic.

Good times.
