Frozen Fish-Town
So we finally got our first REAL snow fall. Overall it wasn't a terrible mess. In fact I saw at least 4 snowball fights ranging from age 8 to age 30. Very fun.
I myself ended up at the Lost Bar of Atlantis. I thought that nobody would be there but me and the bartender but to my surprise it was packed! There were 2 great DJ's (Team Vinny) and of course tons of great cheap beer. (all pints $3 all the time).
The moral of the story. Through Rain, Sleet, Snow and Ice us Fishtown Residents will make it to the bar.
