They Said These Bars Are Goin' Boys And They Ain't Comin' Back
Another Minneapolis bar with a long history is in danger of extinction thanks to the smoking ban imposed by anti-smoking zealots and their nanny state allies. Clearing The Air reports on a fundraiser to help Porter's stay in business:
BEERS BEEN FLOWIN' FOR 70 YEARS! HELP US KEEP IT FLOWIN' FOR 70 MORE"!!
As many of you know since the smoking ban went into effect business at Porter's Bar and Grill has been significantly reduced! As a matter of fact business has gone down approximately 45%. With that being said....it makes it tough to keep the business going. I am organizing a fund raiser for Porters and Kathy and John to help them keep their heads above water and keep the "Porter's Family" together. Many of you receiving this message have been instrumental in the success of Porter's and we certainly want to continue the tradition. The fund raiser will be Friday, September 23rd. Depending on what we get donated, at this time the plan is to sell $10.00 per person tickets. For that $10 you get 1- Burger or Hot Dog/ Chips (other food if donated) , 2 - glasses of keg beer and the chance to win tickets to the Vikings vs. Detroit game on November 6th. (need not be present to win tickets).

Just keep telling yourselves that the smoking ban is good for the "community", while individual businesses (and people's livelihoods) continue to disappear.
