The Green Parrot Bar

This Ephemera page is dedicated to stuff that I find tucked away corners of the Bar that folks may (or may not) find interesting.

While rummaging around the Parrot Attic (this time for candles and other hurricane supplies) I came across this artifact  from another era:  "The Richard Nixon Countdown Calendar" Being the 35th anniversary of his resignation it seemed like a good time to post this one. Whoever owned this had religiously crossed off each  allotted day of Nixon's snakebitten administration.
Just in case you get lost, there's a sign on the building to tell you "You've Arrived!"

Here's a decal from a now defunct roller rink that sat a few doors down from the bar, on Southard Street. It was popular in the navy's heyday of the forties and fifties.

Another decal, much more recent, commemorating the commissioning of a nuclear sub named for the Island City.


This goes back a few years too. Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs were one of the first national acts to play The Parrot. This poster is signed and says: "Don't forget to take time to smell the pigs."
The Green Parrot: Home of The Southernmost Bocce League's First Grand Champions. "They Can't take That Away From Us." There's a good bit of bocce memorabilia. So a Green Parrot Bocce Page is under Construction.

A 20 year-old flyer  from a  Jaco Pastorius show at the Strand Theater. Two sad things spring to mind: #1  I don't believe the show ever was consumated. #2 The Strand Theatre became a Walgreen's this month.

#1 Tragic

#2 Pathetic
