Default What's up with Hammer Head's/ Pat's Shamrock/...McCuloughs

Has anyone noticed the new sign of the used to be Pat's Shamrock, used to be Hammer Heads, which now has the name of McCulough's. The new name is just spray painted above the window. Its brutal. I hope this is just to show the new name before the new sign is installed.

It really looks Ghetto and extremely uninviting. Please don't tell me that this is the permanent plan for the new sign

Default God, I need to make it down to cottman and frankford

I haven't made it down there in a couple of weeks due to work, but I have to go see this new bar. LOL. What in the world is happening to Mayfair? I grew up in the Rhawn/Frankford Ave area but moved to Tacony when my family relocated to FL in 2002. They came back up in 2006 and couldn't believe how bad it got.

**sigh** i miss the old mayfair.

Would have never happened if Skinny Joey still had a piece of the place.

A new Bar sign makes you miss the old Mayfair? LMAO. Beleive me this area is no different now than it was in 2002. It is really most likely that they just arent used to it anymore...like when you come back from vacation and it just seems so busy...

There is a picture of the new sign on the Self Guided Mayfair Pub Tour Wiki: http://mayfairpubs.wetpaint.com/page/McCullough%27 s

Feel free to "Join the Wiki" and write a description of one of Mayfair's listed on the left of the page. Try to model it after the description on the McNally's Tavern page: http://mayfairpubs.wetpaint.com/page/McNally%27s+Tavern
