A couple taverns here in town that cater primarily to the working class have closed and the owners say it's because of the smoking ban. First it was the VFW canteen down on Lakeside and now the venerable Ole and Rick's on the north side. The proprietors of both taverns say that folks have stayed away since the introduction of the smoking ban.
Why does the city council hate veterans? OK - just kidding. Gone are the days of heading to the VFW after the Great Taste for a nightcap and helping out the bartender by answering the phone. To quote Howlin' Wolf, who will be next? Wiggie's?
