Shorty's closing?

Talked to a former DJ at Shorty's Martini Bar & Lounge (3301 Foster Ave., 410-327-8696) Saturday night who said the bar is either closed or on its last leg.

I know the owner, Charles "DJ Feelgood" Fields, moved to Los Angeles a little while back. But he told me he planned to keep the place open. I'm going to make some calls and see what I can find. Any Shorty's patrons out there who can tell me more?

This was one of the few places in the city where you could see local house DJs spin nightly.
