The former Little Roadside Tavern, Nugent's Corner, Washington.
When my Old Man moved out here to build a house he came across this bar, which closed down a few years ago apparently. Over my visits during the past 20 years I think I was actually in here two or three times total. Our neighbor was a regular ("I just go to play pool," says the functioning alcoholic) and strangely enough it plays a small role in the book Lone Patriot by Jane Kramer, about the right-wing militia movement here in Whatcom County during the nineties.
My Dad likes his red wine, but he isn't very social. He was probably in this place only a few more times than I ever was.
Still, it's kind of sad all the same. I'll be curious to see if someone buys and reopens it.
