Salty Dog closed

Love it, Dave! Reminds me of a smaller version of those smoking rooms in airports -- caged beasts. Smokers will have to go outside to get some fresh air. lol. I'm not a smoker, so when I laugh at myself when I'm at the Salty Dog, and go outside for fresh air. It takes only two seconds to realize that the fresher air is inside.

Perhaps a "walk in cooler" smokers lounge would do the trick. Get a big walk in cooler, ventilate it, throw in some windows and "voila" an insulated, quiet smokers lounge. Used, they may be had for $4 to $6 K

You'd have to get a variance from the state as it would still qualify as an interior space under the smoking laws. We're not in Atlanta it just feels like it sometimes. ;-)

I always got a kick out of the smoking lounges at the ATL and STL airports...
You probably don't need to light up to have a cigarette in there. Just have a seat for a few minutes...

I remember going to the bar in the back of the Chevron station on 393/98, before they got shut down, to see the WaCo Ramblers. I bought a beer, and before finishing it, I had to go outside to get some air. That place was so filled with smoke that even some of my smoking friends had to go outside to smoke because it was too smoky inside. cough, cough.

I've done that in the past if I'm running for a flight, just step in take a few deep breaths and on my way.
