Don’t pretend like some of you folks didn’t get a little sad.
It may have had it’s problems but we all have a story about Ups n Downs (or the Pony Room for you older folks). It was a small part of our history going back decades. My grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and all their friends had few pops at the Pony Room. As a matter of fact my buddy Steve even met his wife there back in 2000 (I know – incredible).
Hopefully the place turns into something nice!
I kind of want that sign for my house…..
I grew up in Dorchester. I know personally this will be a great place to service the community. My business is going in that space.
What kind of business?
Medical Equipment .. Special to cancer patients.
I have a strong background. I am proud to expand my business in the town I grew up in… I’m sure at best the community will welcome my business and the NEW face of The Pony Room.
The only place I ever saw a fight broken up by a waitress, who then told the fighters they could stay if they kept drinking.
who ever remembers leaving the pony room…lol…great memories.
I worked the Pony Room for a long time as a musician.. It was a great place to work.
My brother used to entertain there back in the seventies and went by the name of Dave Spencer
So much Chlamydia and herpes exchanged there over the decades
