Hard on the heels of its neighbor suffering what is bound to be a gentrifying fire comes word that emergency backup dive Hawk 'n' Dove will close in October for a grime- and soul-stripping renovation.
I am in no way trying to romanticize the dark, indifferently-serviced Hawk, but dammit, that was one of my dives and to see it turned into one of a chain of like-decorated places (in terms of decor and patrons) is dispiriting. Kids today etc.

We're #88! We're #88!
Despite our best efforts, Washington DC is only the twelfth most drunk city in the US. Clearly JJV's flight to the suburbs is to blame here.
Denver topped (bottomed?) the list, but the real shocker was Buffalo's rank as the third least drunk city. What are they washing the wings down with these days, Poland Spring?
Speaking of drunk, have fun trying to figure out the interactive maps and multiple rankings, some of which use ascending rankings (100 is the "best") and some of which use descending rankings (beginning with 1). Makes me wish I was in Buffalo. Or perhaps Denver. Argh!
