The next Fab Five Friday
Since I'm lounging on sandy beaches right now, I just can't be bothered to do a Fab Five Friday list this week.
Instead, I'm going to present the topic today and give you two weeks to list your suggestions.
We have already done a list of the best fake band names. Now, I want to do a list of the best fake bar names.
If you opened a bar, what would you name it? I already know JMGiordano would call his sports bar Fumbles. And bryanintimonium would be the proprietor of Ful. What about the rest of you? Ante up.

I would open up a spot where Baja used to be and call it the Meet-Market with a "Single Ladies Night" on Wednesdays (women with drivers' licenses that reflect they are single would drink free), Free Speed-Dating every Thursday, and Random Duets Karaoke on Sundays, LOL! The demise of my beloved Baja has left a hole in the heart of Baltimore's nightlife ... why not reincarnate the space as what it always was a Meet-Market :-)

The Library
(If you can get next to a college campus. Then when the parents call you don't have to lie when you tell them you spend all night at the Library)

Sam - Gotta go with "Newt's" and the "Sandbar" ... not really fake names since there are bars named that in Ctown.
