You know you're a nightlife critic when you drive past this building, see this sign, and think:
"Wow, the Vine relocated! Oh cool, the new building is a church!"
Then you read the sign, and think:
"A casual, different, unique Christian fellowship.
Ah, crap, it's not a bar, it's still a church.
They must be talking about the Jesus vine, not the Vine the wine bar."
Yes, this was actually what ran through my head.
Maybe I've been doing this too long.

Hey Sam,
Where is this located?

I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology.
However, now that you've discovered the Church/Bar...I am re-evaluating.

I don't live in Baltimore anymore, but this looks like Warren Ave.
