ROSE TAVERN

Rose Tavern, near the Broadmoor/Central City border
Erin (see below post) made this iPhone picture – an amazing display of photographic prowess as it was taken one handedly as she held plastic grocery bags over the car’s headlights. We did so to diffuse the light (her idea). It worked marvelously.
PS – this is one desolate neighborhood – especially at 2am, and it is home to the old Tivoli Theater building on Washington Ave, which shares its name with the theater WP wrote about in the opening of The Moviegoer. The building is now the biggest funeral parlor you’ve ever seen. I’ve photographed the Rose Tavern a handful of times but have never gotten it right. I think, or at least I hope, that on this last time – with the great assistance via ECB – I got it.
