Oldest Bar in Every State

Sorry for the lack of posting the last few days.  I was visiting The Meadows, Nevada, where I saw a band that JR Smalling used to call the hottest band in the land.  It was life-changing, but you'll hear more about that tomorrow.  

In the meantime, here is a pretty cool article that lists the oldest bar in each of the 50 states and tell you a little bit about each one.  The only bar on the list I have patronized is Lafitte's in New Orleans, which is a fantastic bar.  I don't know what it is about drinking in old buildings, but I like it.  And now I have a reason to go to Long Grove, a town that I literally had no intention or reason to ever visit, until I learned it contains the oldest bar in Illinois.
