#track 84

As I listen to this song, I can't help but smile.

The Universe knows my weaknesses.

I legit wouldn't have payed attention and learned lessons if a "tragic love" narrative wasn't involved.

I legitimately played myself and it was divinely guided. 😂😂😂

I'm not even upset. Everything happens for a reason, and I definitely needed a kick in the ass to get back on track.

Speaking of track...this song is hella cute. I first heard a snippet of it in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry." That is actually one of my favorite movies. (Jessica Biel was looking noice.)

The Pitch Perfect 3 version in particular means a lot to me for personal reasons, but the lyrics really speak to me.

It reminds me of where I have been and where I am heading. I've made a decision to stop my old ways and move onto becoming the person I know I can be. There is freedom in that. To me, it also talks about mutual separation and reflecting on the past in a fond way. I want to honor the love I once shared with someone by pushing forward, bettering myself, and making sure I don't ever treat anyone else the same way again. There's also a need to shed egos and masks in favor of living in a truth without bullshit. And of course, getting out of a toxic relationship is freedom in itself.

Yo. I could talk about personal connotations with songs for ages.

Track 84 can be a little tricky to find. Tucked back against the east side of the railroad tracks, it looks a bit like a dive from the outside. OK, yeah, from the inside too. Don't let it deceive you! Dave, the owner and daytime bartender, is a major craft beer fan, and has even been on the great haj to Belgium. And the selection is definitely worth the visit. Not only is there no crap on tap, there's no crap. Period. Dave admitted that he ousted the big three in favor of crafts and Belgians. They thought he was crazy. I think he's brilliant. 

The bar supports 20 taps and a hand pump cask, and most of the taps rotate on a regular basis. One tap is dedicated to Delirium Tremmens, as you may be able to tell from the ceramic pink elephant in the middle of the bar. There are typically 7-9 Beligians and 10-12 "domestics": Sixpoint, Harpoon, Sierra Nevada, Smuttynose, Victory, and more. Unibroue has been available on tap a few times. While there are bottles, there isn't a list. Just look at the fridge, Dave tells me.

Prices are very reasonable, even for the 5 oz. samplers. $1.50 for domestic crafts less than 8%, $2.00 for domestic crafts over 8%, and $3 for any of the 8 Belgians on tap. Except the samples, which come in the standard issue, the proper glassware is used, and it's very clean. They even rinse with cold water before they pour. Any Cicerone Certified Beer Geek would be proud...

During my visits, the crowd has been mostly working class folks on lunch or happy hour. From time to time, there have been a few college-age folks in Track 84.  The food is simple: free popcorn and basic grill items, but there's also a great sandwich shop next door. Both the sandwich shop and Track 84 are CASH ONLY. ATM charges $2.25.
