Bar Ads from the 1970s
Liberty Tavern which was the Widows Watch in my Burg day.
Alley Oops which I think became the Hamilton Lounge at the
Hamilton Bowling Lanes. I have never heard of Murphy's
Chuckwagon at Olden and Prospect but perhaps my readers
have:)

Mack, I went to Murphy's a few times in the early 70's. It later became the Seafood Shanty, don't even know if it is still there.
Murphy's used to be Murphy's Chuck Wagon, and breakfast joint across the street. They swapped sites with an exisitng liquor store and wound up on the NW corner or Prospect and Olden.
During the late 60s, Murphy's was huge - *the* place to be. There were crowds of former THS students - the last place I saw most of them.
The back room featured local acts like "Jacob's Creek" and "Alexander Rabbit."
"Alexander Rabbit" wrote and performed one of the early rock operas called "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and was formed from the original Galaxies IV band shown in the ad. One of the band members, Chris Holmes, is the son of the former RKO Lincoln organist, Bolton Holmes. They had pretty decent talent, but I moved onto the jazz world.

Hi JoeZ & SJ:)
Seafood Shanty was there when I worked for Wendys on that block
now 30 years ago. It caught fire
and burned down years ago. Something else is there now (A
CVS?) I remember the liquor store
across the street too:)
