Shedding a small tear here. Lived there for a nono-second in 2003. The Dock, Poet's, Last Call, Recovery Room, BWW, TimeOut, McB's, some liberal college bars on the bad side. Wasn't all that bad, but chicks only wanted to know where you went to High School.

That was 20 years ago. I hear some of those places are still open.

All those places you mentioned are long gone
except for McB's. I didn't include BWW since it's a chain and has multiple locations.

Poet's and The Dock were legendary places and had been around since the 70s and 80s. The Dock was a hangout for movie stars when they would be working in Canton. Sandra Bullock, Samuel L Jackson, Keifer Sutherland, Mathew McConaughey and several others partied there during the filming of A Time To Kill. Prince even performed an encore show there once.

All those old places are gone now and nothing really replaced them. I don't know what kids do these days around here. You definitely don't have as much travel freedom at night as you did 20-30 years ago.

You should have been here 55 years ago when you could drive your Chevy Chevelle SS with souped up 396 to Westland Plaza and circle through Shoneys parking lot in the solid line of car cruisers, allowing the car right in front of you to get 20 feet ahead so you could lay 10 feet of rubber and still get it stopped before rear ending them.

Good days to live. All they know now is to cut donuts with smoking tires on some kind of Toyota in intersections, or race up and down State Street, I-55 or I-20.
