dc.description	This building on the corner of Jackson and Southwest Capital — one of the few "original" structures remaining downtown according to the Aug. 10, 1947, Enquirer and News — had a date with the wrecking ball to make room for a parking lot. The building had a history as a grocery, a saloon, a lunchroom and cleaner before its demise, and had been on the site since 1880. Its neighbor, the Blackstone Tavern, would survive another 34 years, and was noted as the city's last "stag" tavern until three women "invaded" the male sanctuary on May 3, 1971. Owner Gus Hirakis took it in stride, passing out cigars and buying the women lunch.	en_US
