Svoboda's Nickelodeon Tavern
By Jim Mulhearn

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I was sorry to learn that Svoboda's is no longer around.  I took my wife
there for our first date, in September 1969.  We were married and will
celebrate our 35th anniversary this coming October.  I was hoping I
could take our children and grandchildren there.  It was a great place
to have fun.  We are sad to see it go.
