This group will, hopefully, bring together people who are interested in the types of questions and discussions that arise naturally from the group's title. Discussions will be fun, out there but skeptical, and preferably over a pint of beer. I hate to be exclusive but this group is not for conspiracy theorists or post-apocalypse survival fetishists. We will not discuss nuclear bunker construction or food preservation techniques (except insofar as those techniques might be used to produce delicio …

We're in search of those little neighborhood bars and the local stars who hang out in them. You know, right? Let me explain. Where everyone knows your name? Where you can challenge the pool table by adding your quarters to the queue? Where there is always a handful of regulars sitting at the bar having a cold draft even if it is 8:00 a.m.? It's dark.
