Go Quietly

I was disappointed but not surprised to find that the doors were locked at the 9th Inning Sports Bar & Grill as I sought nourishment during a set break at the Blue Room on Monday.  The signs in the windows promoting Monday Night Football beer specials seemed to mock me.  This report confirms the closure of the establishment directly underneath the neon 18th & Vine sign.  I patronized the place a few times.  The miniature sports museum was cool and the staff was friendly.  But the food looked and tasted as if it came straight off as Sysco delivery truck.  And the young waitresses, while really sweet, were woefully inexperienced.  The jazz district's ongoing power outage saddens me.
