Afternoon View – The Squealing Pig

Judging by the letters to the editor in this week’s Provincetown Banner, lots of folks are very upset with the chief of police over a fracas he allegedly spawned at the Squealing Pig.  In other small town paper news: somebody caught a really big fish, the air conditioner at the library doesn’t work very well, and some lady got a …

Afternoon View – Jerry’s Deli

Jerry’s Deli, as I may have mentioned here one hundred times in the past, operates in the building that once was the Warsaw Ballroom, the single greatest gay nightclub in the history of the world. And I am unanimous in that.

Afternoon View: Gay Historical Marker

The above sign was posted in 2005 by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. It stands about 100 feet from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell and is surely seen by millions of tourists every year. Visit Philly, the city’s official tourism organization, has some details: Pennsylvania erected Philadelphia’s first LGBT marker to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the …

Afternoon View – Porky’s BBQ Shack

When Father Tony and I drive to Key West, one of our traditions is to stop off in Marathon for lunch at Porky’s BBQ Shack, a ramshackle open-air joint where customers often arrive by boat. The rafters of the place are papered with hundreds of dollar bills autographed by the patrons. Next stop, Island House.

Hurricane Sandy did a number on Fort Lauderdale Beach, which seems about half as wide as when I last saw it. I don’t recall that lifeguard stand being so close the water.

Afterview View – Embarcadero Fountain

The fountain’s actual name is Québec libre! and its Canadian creator, Armand Vaillancourt, meant it as a tribute to Quebec’s secessionist movement. OK!
