Kavarna Is 6: Good Bye Ginny's Heart of Broadway

Once there was a bar called Ginny's Heart of Broadway, which really sounds like it should have been on the Bowery in New York in the 19th century. Elderly alcoholics would sign over their social security checks (if rumor is true), and hang over the edge of the bar all month long.

Here's what the inside of the bar looked like:

Believe it or not, this is Kavarna, a little more than six years ago. Seeing through the drop ceiling and past the wood panelling took vision, the vision of Linda Bengtson.

Of course, she'd already signed the lease before the drop ceiling and wood panelling were removed, so there was also some luck involved. Luck and a lot of hard work.

(I'm skipping a lot of steps here...)
