You Wrote: ''O'Madd'y's is not special''?? That is the only thing you wrote that was wrong. WhereRead More else can you go in Gultport and sit in a bar seat so early in the morning and have a beer that is as cold as be and have the glorious view of our bay so close to your face? Huh? No place, that's where. It is "very" special, for that reason and a few more. You should put aside this one bad day you had there instead of letting it ruin all the other good days you have had there. Besides, your argument was with a woman...what is new about losing an argument with a woman? If you are a lawyer, as you claimed, then the poor way you explained what happened probably means you lose lots of arguments...and why you only make enough money to drink at O'Maddy's...lol... instead of the swankier bars on Beach Drive in Downtown St Pete. By the way...that $45,000 you spent? In case you have not cashed in on it...is worth about 450 free beers in O'Maddie's beer club. And you say they place is not special? Most of us have had a day just like the one you did. We know you miss the place. Go back in, forget about what happened, sit down, shut up, order a beer, and enjoy yourself some more there.
