Radio was tonight at a new venue this year. The Cats Corner Bar on West Union Street. 6PM
Anyone here go ? If so, thoughts on the show and venue.

Did not attend the show, but the venue is a very nice bar in town, some say the nicest.

It's the old Cats Den which was the old Little Ritz. Totally redone with restrooms you aren't afraid to use.

I said the same thing about the restrooms at Pigskin after it was redone. The ones in the old Pigskin were frightening, to say the least.

OUCountry and I went in there for a couple beers before a game last year in the Convo. Great venue after the renovation if you want to get away from the uptown area. Have always been a fan of Smiling Skull next door too.

There was a gaggle of about 15-20 kids that walked in doing a shuffle that day around 1pm. Gotta start early if you want to finish them all.

For years I've attended about 75% of the basketball radio shows. Could KICK myself for not being at Cats Corner last night. Will definitely he there next Weds. I'm assuming it will be archived at the athletics website. Sometimes it takes a few days to get up there.

Frightening is an understatement. We were going to have a Green and Whte Club funcition there so I took my daughter with me to check out the ladies room. She came out with very wet shoes. We had to pick another venue. Not sure about today but the Pub used to have the worst restrooms in town.

When I was at O.U. the worst restrooms were in the old BBF (now Buffalo Wild Wings).

They were in the basement.

When you walked down the stairs you could tell from the floor and the smell,whether they were working.

Tony's gets my vote for lousy restrooms. Men's room has a strange hinged panel that half covers one's torso as you use the urinal. Not sure what the purpose is. I fell backwards through it once - almost knocked myself out.

In my memory, the Greenery had the worst restrooms in Athens. It remember peeing through a hole in the wall, no urinal.
