former location of uptown bar

This is the former location of the Uptown Bar. A legendary greasy spoon and rock venue, the Uptown Bar featured such acts as the Replacements, Husker Du, and many others. It also served remarkably tasty skillets. Some of my favorite Sunday mornings were spent here hung over with all the other sinners. Now it is an Apple store. We miss you, Uptown Bar.
replacements’ guitarist deathplace
from the replacements posted in music by prof_improbable
Bob Stinson, lead guitarist for the legendary rock band the Replacements, died in an apartment above this address on 2/18/95.
Despite reports to the contrary, Stinson did not die of an overdose, but as the coroner reported, "...rather his body simply wore out after years of abuse."
This location is referenced in Chuck Klosterman's, "Killing Yourself to Live."
R.I.P.

Just a block or two from my apartment. I'm not sure if they ever explained why Marisa Tomei had that ace bandage on her hand unless it was when I was blacked out (the movie was kind of boring).

Matt Dillon and his racetrack friend had a beer there in one brief shot. Cuzzy's has all of that defaced money on the wall. I think I've only been there once or twice.

I used to work across the street on the fourth floor and I looked down on this strip club all day. Never been in though, I swear.
