Re: Callahagn's in Mobile, AL starting as a "members only" club.

To quote Gene Hackman in "Mississippi Burning" - "Member of what?"

Strange: of all things possibly connected you mentioned that movie and Gene Hackman. I've had both the brain w.r.t. to the current administration.

It's really nice seeing those pubs the are really connected to a tumultuous history.

The oldest pub I've been not too far from is "The Old Ferry Boat Inn". The structure isn't that old, dating to the 17th Century. It is claimed to date to 560 AD, but if you believe that, I have a bridge (very old) I'd like to sell you.
