An OPEN LETTER to … Freddie Wakim …

Freddie:

You’ve made us all “Norm!!” through the years, and that’s been really cool.  Thanks for that.

And thanks for following the family example as the chief barkeep and proprietor of Wakim’s Bar. A bar, not a sports bar or a cocktail bar or a singles bar or a craft beer bar. Not a lounge, not a club, and not even a tavern or a pub. A bar.

Wakim’s Bar, the one with drafts and bottles and smokes and candy and the lottery and keno, and there are pops and peanuts and the pièce de resistance, the Sauce Dog. There’s a pool table and poker machines, and it’s always warm and welcoming, but there are no windows and no websites.

You, friend, are the third generation to keep Wakim’s the bar it’s been for a century, and we pray Gen4 will follow the lead.

Sincerely,

“Norm!!”
