The end of an era: ( from the AJC Tuesday January 20th ) : Trackside Tavern, the Decatur watering hole that helped launched the Indigo Girls and other local acoustic acts, is no more for now. The tavern was boarded up Wednesday, a day after it was consumed by a fire in the small commercial strip at East College Avenue and South Candler Street. A sandwich shop next door, the 5th Earl Market, suffered smoke damage. There were no serious injuries. Trackside opened in 1982 and, along with the Freight Room and Eddie’s Attic, became the epicenter of an acoustic music scene that flourished in Decatur. In recent years, Trackside earned a loyal following for its laid-back vibe and late-night hours.
I was banned from the place years and years ago, so long ago that I am sure , were it still standing that my picture would be down from the do not serve wall. It was a fun place. I never saw the Girls there, but saw lots of other bands/lesbian folk singers. Wow.... The Trackside joins The Stein Club up there in Atlanta bar heaven.
