Love the old paintings(?) on these huge walls.
Gary Dumm, collaborator with the late Harvey Pekar and Ohio cartoonist Joe Zabel, and a fine artist/writer in his own right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Dumm

Love this sign.

Records, clothes and drinks...I had to take a detour to the cool shop in the basement (where I found a Julian Cope and the Teardrop Explodes LP I've been looking for for 25 years).
Poster designer John G. had customers all say long. I'll be posting the drawing he did of The Black Keys for me here soon. http://ninepanelgrid.blogspot.com/
The back of the old building was very David Lynch-ian. I could almost hear the Angelo Badalamenti music.
The Lynch-ian back barroom.
