Sharlie Cheen: Because Life isn’t All Smoke and Broken Mirrors

He then went on to trash everything I look for in a bar: the crappy makeshift furniture, torn sofas, flea market oil paintings, bad lighting, broken mirrors, graffiti, the Paris-Accord-violating levels of air pollution. “People deserve to drink somewhere nice. … Read more Sharlie Cheen: Because Life isn’t All Smoke and Broken Mirrors
