Saturday Shots: Happy Hour!

I haven't done one of my "Saturday Shots" posts (or any other blog posts for that matter) in a few weeks. Since it's the weekend, I figured a good subject matter would be bars. The following photographs are part of my old signage series. Cheers!

Simon's is an old neighborhood tavern in Andersonville that's been around since the Great Depression. It's a former speakeasy with an interesting history. Cheap drinks, relaxed atmosphere, and a great jukebox.
