On Thursday I posted a picture of Mike's Beer Barn which is located right across Tennessee Street from the Florida State University campus. Tennessee Street (or US Highway 90) is the main east/west road through Tallahassee. The area of that runs parallel to the FSU campus is also sometimes been called the Tennessee Street "strip" and it is lined with establishments catering to college students. Another one of these places is Poor Paul's Pourhouse. Poor Paul's has been located here for many years, in fact it was there when I was in college many moons ago. It has been a local right of passage for young people to do what is called the "Tennessee Waltz", hitting all the bars along the strip for drinks on their 21st birthday. If you look closely, you will see a couple of birds up there on that sign enjoying the view.

What a great name and sign. It just begs you to go in and spend some money!
You are taking me down memory lane,,(well, what I can remember) LOL. I think I had more Poor Paul's Spin the Wheel Money than I had real money at one time!!!
oh yes, the birds are a great detail in this picture! I think this place looks cool!
Have a nice weekend dear Lois!
God bless you

I love the sign! How cute. Thank you for pointing out the sightseeing birds ... I missed them until I read your comment, then went back and found them.
I laughed trying to find words for drunken birds on the sign but gave up when the only word I could think of was. . .

I reckon the Pourhouse is a cute name for a drinking pub like that. lol.
Yes, I did see those cutie spies sitting on the post. Great pose they made. Is that part of the sign? Or they just happened to be there at the time you took this photo?
Great one Lois!
The poorhouse...
That's pretty interesting...
I bet their drinks are cheap, at least I would imagine...
That's a funny sign and I almost missed the birds.
Oh, I'll bet many a wallet has gone home empty. Cool sign.
LOL! I love the name and the sign!
Lois, did you do the 'Tennessee Waltz' too when you turned 21? If I were there, I think I would have! ;)
Great sign, although I guess most students do not take much enticement to go out and have a few beers.

Too funny!
If they serve Guinness I'm there.
Very cleaver play on words here. I wonder if 'Poor Paul' posed for the sign himself...:D
