Landlord Eva Hughes has changed the locks on her building, reports Chris Gray, for Pearl Bar’s non-payment of rent: According to Hughes’s attorney, adds Gray, eviction “proceedings” are underway. This isn’t the first time the tenants at 4216 Washington Ave. have had a visit paid by such sober guests: “[I]n January agents from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and state comptroller’s office visited the bar and confiscated cash to count against a back-tax bill a comptroller’s spokesman estimated at more than $40,000.” [Hair Balls] Photo: Pearl Bar

I liked it better back-in-the-day when it was the Boardwalk Beach Club.
I liked it better when it was the Bon Ton Room and Mary Jane’s.
Washington Ave. is headed towards a Richmond Ave fate. Apparently the douche-crowd is headed to midtown.
Wait, aren’t you only allowed to change the locks when the eviction process is completed? Just sayin…

@3 – Lockouts are common for commercial property in default.
10-4, thanks.
