former location of uptown bar
from uptown bar posted in music by prof_improbable
This is the former location of the Uptown Bar. A legendary greasy spoon and rock venue, the Uptown Bar featured such acts as the Replacements, Husker Du, and many others. It also served remarkably tasty skillets. Some of my favorite Sunday mornings were spent here hung over with all the other sinners. Now it is an Apple store. We miss you, Uptown Bar.

Bob Stinson, lead guitarist for the legendary rock band the Replacements, died in an apartment above this address on 2/18/95.
Despite reports to the contrary, Stinson did not die of an overdose, but as the coroner reported, "...rather his body simply wore out after years of abuse."
This location is referenced in Chuck Klosterman's, "Killing Yourself to Live."
