    Happy to know the history of Andy’s great bar and music hall! Thanks for all the research and the great article, Michael Horne!

    Well done piece Michael. I have a question: If the tavern was 400+sq ft. short of being adequate for a dance hall at the time of the appeal, was there an addition added at some time? After reading your article, this place is on my must visit list, but only when the polka tunes are playing. Thanks for your work.
