The Weir Cafe (located 3 doors down, west from Mac’s Cigar Store) operated in Aberdeen, back in the mid 80s. I must have drove the McCann family, who owned the cafe nuts playing it the same song over and over. They were very kind to me and allowed me to see the old Weir theater that had been closed off in the back. The McCann’s and the Hick’s boys owned the majority of the block and let me explore and learn much of the history of the buildings first hand. All the buildings are long gone except for Mac’s Cigar Store. As far as Mac’s goes, most of the people I spent the 80s with are long gone also. RIP: Mike Hicks, Gil Flinn, Rick Collins, Hank Woon, Richard Townsend, Gene the Machine and all the old time Pan players. Each and everyone thought to be such hardcore gamblers and roughnecks were very kind and sensitive to me. It was an angel mural on each side on the coved ceiling still intact although the rest of the ceiling was peeling off. Most of the seating was pulled from the floor and scattered about. It was dangerous and I was so grateful to have seen it before it was gone.
