November 30, 2012 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Oscar Wilde was an interesting character, one who was quick witted and at the same time short wicked. The latter would be the end of him. Trying to get the father of his lover imprisoned for libel, another word for defamation of character, which called for a two year prison sentence, he was almost successful. However, […]

Berry Gordy, Jr. had had enough. He just didn’t think he was getting paid enough money for the songs he wrote for others. He decided to venture out on his own and start his own record company! Without this man, and without his drive, we would have probably missed out on some of the fine soul […]

November 27, 2012 | By Shaun the Bartender |

November 26, 2012 | By Shaun the Bartender |

Another one of those days where I wanted to give you a little history on a pre-Prohibition drink. Legend has it that this cocktail wasn’t even invented in New York City, but Philadelphia. It was discovered by Bronx restauranteur Joseph Sormani while visiting the City of Brotherly Love in 1905. He would bring it back […]

This is a true American Dream story: This man was born in Scotland and came over to the United States as a teenager to find work. He would work many hours in manufacturing, until finding a job in the new telegraph industry, where he would work his way up the ladder. He would eventually save […]

November 24, 2012 | By Shaun the Bartender |

The one and only plane hijacking that was never solved happened on this day in 1971. A man by the name of Dan Cooper boarded a Northwest flight at Porland International Airport headed for Seattle, Washington. He handed the flight stewardess a note demanding a ransom of $200,000 and four parachutes or he would blow […]

Unlike many biographies that are circulated about this American outlaw, William Henry McCarty, Jr., who was known during his outlaw years as William Bonney, better known as “Billy the Kid” was thrown into crime because of the circumstanses surrounding him. He began his adult life killing a blacksmith that would constantly bully the young McCarty. […]
