Where are the stars for the guinness? So ,after walking around boston common district I decided to check out this bar called Cheers. I never caught the show when it was on tv as I was too busy not watching TV. However I had heard about the place and thought it might be a fun place to have a beer. Wrong of course, just a tourist trap and not much of a bar anyway. Walking along the common I stopped and asked a local Where I could find a bar where one could have a quiet drink. I was directed to the 21st amendment, what a great name for a pub, and what a great place. Though it was slap bang in the middle of town, it had a lovely local vibe to it.

So I walked back stood there for a little longer. Then I saw a waitress come out from the back and ended up walking up the two steps to let her know I was there for a pick up. Didn't really feel welcomed there. Gave the lady my card so I could pay then when she got back she just kind of lifted my card up in the air and put in in the table and walked away.
