As Dude Aaron, Pat and I discovered Friday night, Sorry Charlie's has closed its doors. The shutdown is due to the structure being declared unsafe. Contrary to both popular belief and my own hypothesis, the shut-down has nothing to do with the Ellis Square Project.
During preliminary planning, engineers inspected the properties surrounding Ellis Square. It was then that they determined the floor joists in that building needed to be replaced and they were, with temporary ones.
The real tragedy here is this completely messes up our weekly tour of bars. Sorry Charlie's was a great first stop, which led to many fun nights. Saturday night, without our normal starting line, we wandered about aimlessly. So aimlessly that we ended up in the new Malones for two and a half minutes before we snapped out of it, came to our senses, and went to Kevin Barry's for Guinness.
Please fix the floors, they provide such a good launch into any night of boozing.
I read this story on SavannahNow.com.

There are three ways to get to Atlanta:
1) Take a quick half-hour flight from Savannah/Hilton Head international.
2) Drive 4 hours on I-16/I-75.
3) Show up at Malone's on Friday or Saturday night.
Friday night we went to Outback and overheard a good conversation between a visiting gel head and a female Calvary Day School graduate. It went like this. Gel head: Are there any places in this city that do not suck? Ex Cavalier: I was going to say Malones, but I guess you've already been there. He then proceeded to tell us all these great places he'd been to "party" outside of Savannah. He'd even been to Statesboro and Shreveport LA. After shots of Jack Daniels, the girl left to lead a Young Life meeting, and he headed to the Wooden Nickel.
Did you enjoy that Class A state baseball title that your Calvary Cavaliers provided the city of Savannah a few weeks back? Did you know that Calvary is the first baseball team from Savannah two win multiple state titles? That is, in the history of the entire city. Don't worry though, even the Cadets will luck into a state title in something in the future. Even if it is in Cross Country.
"Did you know that Calvary is the first baseball team from Savannah two win multiple state titles?
Did your Calvary education ever go over the difference in the words to and two?
CALVARY FAN-
I was not aware that the Cavs were the first team to win back to back state baseball titles for Savannah. However, there are other more important things that I am aware of concerning Calvary Day School.
1: BC beat Calvary in baseball this year.
2:Blake Jones, who is a recent graduate of CDS and certainly the best basketball player in school history, dyes his hair.
3: BC football is down but 3 years ago, even when we were 4-6, we still beat Calvary 27-0. Isn't that the last time they played in a full pad scrimmage? If not, tell your Youth Group on Wednesday how ignorant BC guys are.
4: You felt compelled to respond after something bad was said about Malone's because more than likely, you frequent that place each Friday and Saturday in your all white tennis shoes, your Jesus ring, Puka shells, fake tan, cargo shorts, and a short from Abercombie and Fitch with one of those hilarious sayings.
Nice alias there "calvary fan." I wouldn't use my real name either. By the way, how did your so-called state championship baseball team do against BC this year. If you're suffering from a sudden case of dementia that's okay, I'll jog your memory: Monday April 23, 2007 at Bethesda (by the way, you would think a state championship baseball team could get their own damn field but no they have to take advantage of homeless kids)a 9-12 Cadet team beat an 18-2 Cavalier team 3 to 0 with our pitcher throwing a complete game shutout. Plus Brendan Gillins recently won the AAA Individual State Golf Title. Yeah, that was some kind of luck. And don't even get me started with the Josh Mallard - Demarcus Dobbs debate, another clear victory for the Cadets. Until you can back that talk up with head to head victories, stay off the blog.
I guess this is off topic at this point, but I do hope to see the building declared safe get up and running again. I believe the sign has been deemed of historical significance. It's from one of my family's early seafood stores, A.C. Mathews I believe.
It has shifted the demographic spread. It's forced ALL of the gel-heads to Malones. It's really quite remarkable.
Yeah, BC did beat Calvary this year in baseball. That's fine and dandy, but where were they when it all counts? Calvary has their ring, does BC? In case you're suddenly suffereing from that same dementia, your Cadets failed to even make the playoffs. I'll take getting beat by BC in a single game if it means winning the state title. One day, maybe you Cadets will know the feeling.
This is essentially the same as the Jenkins' Boys Club Peewee Championship team talking shit to the Chicago Bulls. "Hey, maybe ya'll are better than us, but at least we have a 'title.'"
A championship ring in the state's lowest classification is worth about the same as one of those little candy rings you can get for a quarter out of gumball machines.
Do y'all play the full 48 minutes in Single A? How about tackling? It's not two-hand touch, is it?
Man, you silly Cadets really need to start winning in some sport, and soon. The bitterness is starting to get a little uncomfortable.
Whatever, Will. Or Donnie. Or Rick. Whatever.
