Hackensack Discussion / Re: General Poor's Tavern closing today - last call!
« on: March 31, 2018, 10:45:24 AM »
Time for Ol’ Homer to give a recollection of the good days gone bye. Back in the early ‘80’s General Poors Retreat was owned by the late George Brown a well known Hackensack attorney. George was heavily involved in Irish American activities.
On certain Saturday evenings George would bring in an Irish band and by 10:00 you couldn’t get into Poors. This was about 35 years ago when Main Street wasn’t exactly a hub of nighttime entertainment. Back in those days there was a Saint Patrick’s Day parade on Main Street and Poor’s was a focus of the parade revelry.
Ah, the good old days.
