I loved this bar. I went there when I lived in Michigan from around 97-99. I had my going away party there and remember so many faces, but no names. I was so poor at the time and only 20ish. I remember a very short little guy named Joe that was the friendliest guy in the place and he had a crush on me but I was not into him like that. The main reason I always went was because of a bartender that I liked a lot named Kris. He had dark hair and was possibly a year or two or three older than me. I don't know if he liked me at all or not but I did like him quite a bit. I believe he had a boyfriend that used to come in and sit and drink quite a bit. It was kind of sad how he would openly flirt w/ other guys in front of him, (myself included). At the time, being so young and skinny as a rail, I never had the courage to talk to him. Seems like a million years ago. Good times.
ReplyDeleteI visited the Flamingo when I was in town but not on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI would meet friends for drinks. At the last years, I was told the Flamingo manager allowed ex convicts from a nearby halfway house to drink in the bar.
I was told customers were hustled by the ex cons and even assaulted including the manager/bartender.
