I was employed at the Canadian exhibit in World Showcase.<BR/><BR/>The original owner, I recall his name may have been Bruce??? was a former World War II pilot, who flew off the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill. He had the place set-up like a small bar you'd find on a South Pacific military base during the war.<BR/><BR/>There were fishing nets with glass ball floats strung around the ceiling and he played the most delightful 1940s big band music - it was like stepping back into time. <BR/><BR/>He served his drinks out of glass mason canning jars and used big wooden wire cable spools as tables. <BR/><BR/>The place was decorated with a wide variety of eclectic memorabilia and he was quite a character.<BR/><BR/>The place was a favorite haunt for many EPCOT employees.DisneyDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177008494595707305noreply@blogger.com
