After a long day of learning about how to be a better teacher and help my students speak the Englishes more good, I knew I had to get out and see some of the city. There are two different locations, one in the northwest part of the city and the other, the brewery, on the east side of the river. Ghosts and rave reviews? The actual story of the ghost revolves involves sex, slavery, and mystery. Back in the late s, some of the local timber barons built the Merchant Hotel where Old Town Pizza now stands.
One girl, Nina, was sold into this prostitution ring against her will. Unfortunately, she suffered a terrible fate for her attempt to shut down the house of ill repute as her corpse was found at the bottom of an elevator shaft which is now a booth in the restaurant.
Upon walking into the dark interior, it added to the ambiance of it being a haunted former hotel. They supplied me with a menu, and then I had to order at a booth that was attached to the kitchen.
Note: the entrance was the former lobby of the Merchant Hotel, and the ordering booth was the reception desk. I put in my order of a small original house pizza which contained signature pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers and topped with house made sausage.
I then moved on to the bar next to the ordering booth where my hipster bartender hooked me up with an Old Joe Chocolate Dark Ale that was brewed at the Old Town Brewery.
