❀ ✿ Happy Birthday Jack Kerouac ✿ ❀
He chose his words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood
Hip flask slingin' madmen, steamin' café flirts

Just thought of Kerouac yesterday when we passed a local bar, My Brother's Bar (no name on it as everyone knows it's THAT bar) where Kerouac & Neal Cassidy once hung out. There's still an unpaid tab by one of them & a letter from Cassidy hangs outside the restroom.

cover story about it for an ex-pat magazine called
“Left Bank This Month”. It was likely the first time the
hotel’s nickname was published in print, making it
official.
