The Red-Eyed Owl

Though this rambling wooden building looks about to fall into the street, it's looked that way for over half a century and has yet to actually fall.

Inside is a comfortable, unimpressive, welcoming gathering place for the neighborhood, where friends hail each other from across the room, the refreshments are pleasant and unspectacular, and you can sit in peace and while the evening away.
