That Irish pub had been called something like &#8220;Cat in the Cage&#8221; or &#8220;Cat &#8216;n&#8217; Cage&#8221;. It was interesting to get clarity on this since any number of older folks around here had described that Irish pub but nobody could remember its name. <\/p>\n<p>Other former bar names came up in the discussion, though, including the Yellowbird Lounge, which existed at 34-16 35th Street, where Tupelo used to be, although Tupelo used a street address on 34th Avenue, not 35th Street. Today the corner of 34th Avenue and 35th Street is taken by a C-Town, n\u00e9e Bravo, though the space is altogether different from when Tupelo or Yellowbird were present. There was a limo company that had a garage, but that space is now taken by the C-Town. Don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;m writing all this, just rummaging through old pictures and junk on the hard drives, mining for something interesting, and simply trying to get my creative energies focused. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17339\" style=\"width: 843px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17339\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wsbj.com\/sorabji\/mobi\/37\/2018\/05\/yellowbird_lounge_card.jpg?resize=833%2C484&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yellowbird Lounge\" width=\"833\" height=\"484\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17339\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yellowbird Lounge<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somebody, and I am sorry to say I don&#8217;t remember who, posted this to a Facebook group some time last year, when I posted asking if anyone knew the name of the bar that used to inhabit what is now Rest-au-Rant, at 35th Avenue and 30th Street.
