No reason, I just do. And that song happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine, so that's a plus in my book. You can simply waltz over to this colorful and warm establishment, enjoy some drinks with friends, and walk home. The bar is right at the center, so you can walk to either side for drinks, and the bartenders are friendly and at your service. There is a variety of seating, good music, and friendly neighborhood people to make your time more enjoyable. Not pretentious, very cozy, I think Point Break is a fabulous place to spend some time with friendsjohn22https://www.blogger.com/profile/10194161650993588316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-52500228748589496842009-10-14T19:40:17.093-07:002009-10-14T19:40:17.093-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Gunter Swobodahttp://gunterswoboda.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-53432780773748469122009-10-14T13:13:19.990-07:002009-10-14T13:13:19.990-07:00Jeanie, you're a peach!

Your first instinct is to say, "No idea how to pronounce that one," but then if you try, it rolls off your tongue easily.
