There are some things I miss about my old city, but the one loss that devastated me was the closure of Sam's HofBrau on J Street. World class blues, cajun and zydeco acts played there weekly. Acts who would sell out stadiums would show up and just play a packed restaraunt/bar that had a max occupancy of 150 (but more like 300) people. And they would play their hearts out, mingle with the crowd, even have locals come up and jam with. Every walk of life, right there, in the music and the food.
