About this tag

Spring Street Bar has been an Irish Hill neighborhood fixture since 1987, surviving a pandemic-era closure and reopening in 2022 because people still wanted their old gathering place back. This particular tag was not about an obscure architectural detail or hidden landmark. It was the front door to a place where a friend used to bring a bunch of us on Monday nights. Some Bike Tags document public history. Some document the smaller geography of friendship — the places that become important because of who kept bringing you there.
