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.
