I know, how'd that happen, right? .
My hometown has all the makings of a fun little town to spend an afternoon, do a little shopping, stay for dinner and a drink, listen to some music...well, except shops and restaurants. (Excluding chains. There are plenty of those in utterly fun-free, unwalkable congregations on either end of town.) But Augusta has the river and some great architecture, in walking distance of the Capitol. State government offices alone should guarantee that there are people in town who have good jobs and a little money to spend.
But as of today, Augusta has no good bars. It has three dives, going from bad to worse like the Three Bears' porridge, and one sedate, almost geriatric establishment where the beers are five bucks.
Is all that about to change? In early summer, Augusta is supposed to be getting a new bar: Charlemagne's, described by owner Tina Charest as "a classy, comfortable place."
Charlemagne's, which will be located in the newly-renovated Chernowsky's building, will offer "light music" and sports.
It's gonna be a great summer.
