... well, who knows?
The college bar on Third Street between Callowhill and Spring Garden next to McFadden's closed not too long ago, and there is conflicting word about its next incarnation.
McFadden's says nothing is afoot, but I hear that a version of Lodge Bar, now in Columbus, Ohio, and Baltimore, is planned.
The Liquor Control Board says that based on incidents at Tiki Bob's, it will object to the renewal of its license. The licensee does have the authority to operate until Oct. 31, 2008, a board spokeswoman told me.
