Icecube: Diplo purported buyer of J&J Trestle Inn

When I Icepacked my bit about the J&J Trestle Inn closing (339 N. 11th St.) I didn't think I'd get any feedback. It was a sweet, sweet dive-bar hangout for peeps who worked in the neighborhood (as I did backinaday), guys who lived down the as-yet-to-get-gentrified block and the flashy ladies who loved them. Suddenly I got a few calls from old pals who also worked in the area and would go to tipple a few.

A little more digging into who else might've loved the old J&J, a phone call from a source that said the Trestle had found a buyer I might know and a tip that Foobooz had run something on my original mention (thanks ya) led me to THIS photo.

Eureka. The Mad Decent Mausoleum is down the street. Diplo's got to be tired of wiping down coaster rings from his studio console. What better hang for he, Switch and his minion. I haven't chatted with Wes Pentz yet. But this is a nice sign. I'll probably find myself back in my old neighborhood drinking Johnnie Walker Black sooner than I thought. Here's hoping.
