Living in the Scoot Utopia

Rumor has it that the owners of The Peanut plan to open a new bar called The Acorn in the new HOK building at 3rd & Wyandotte. This will put a bar, for all practical purposes, right across the street from me.

Though I do like The Peanut - Downtown (the one on 9th) a lot, and having a bar across the street is definitely convenient, I'll probably still do most of my stumbling an extra few blocks over to Harry's Country Club. Convenience is nice but atmosphere, friendliness, and coolness outweigh it. I just can't imagine a neighborhood bar in a building made of aluminum and glass having any charm.
