Yes, Virginia. Such awesomeness exists:
That’s right – drinking establishments that have lined their walls, and shelves, with everything from hardbound classics and modern novellas to law encyclopedias and philosophical tomes. Actually, alcohol and the written word have a close correlation and long history; among the famous writers who were heavy drinkers include Hunter S. Thompson, Tennessee Williams, Charles Bukowski, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway.
Now if Virginia would just overturn that stupid smoking ban, we might stand a better-than-even chance of restoring the atmosphere of a French cafe…
