Bar Scars retires
In today's City Paper, Bar Scars columnist Anna Ditkoff says she's ending the monthly nightlife feature's five year run.
The reason?
"When I first thought about sitting at home watching movies and tinkering with my house it sounded boring, but when I gave it a try I realized how great it could be," Ditkoff writes.
Ditkoff is 31 now, and says she thinks her heavy partying days are behind her. I'll miss the column, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Bar Scars hadn't run for the past couple months, which made me curious about its future. I e-mailed Ditkoff last week about the column, but she never got back to me. Guess this explains
it.
I hope City Paper reincarnates Bar Scars in some form or another in the coming months. And Anna, I hope there are still plenty of fun nights out in your future. Even if they don't last until 2 a.m.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
