> Aaron Brown

Aaron Brown was the bouncer at Ports, and Ports was the bar I haunted in the 1980's. Three of the bartenders lived at Ten Bungalows (three blocks away), I could walk home after too many Long Island Ice Teas, I was addicted to their Maryland Soft Shell Crab and their jukebox played my soundtrack.

Aaron would always give me the scoop at the front door and when it was a mad crush, always found a way to get me and my gang inside and around a table. The last of my real drinking was done at Ports and at The Formosa across the street. I stopped going midway through 1990 and lost touch with Aaron and many of my old drinking chums. Ports faded as the 90's began and was quickly replaced by a bar called "Jones," whose door I have yet to darken. I wish I could say where dear Aaron is these days but wherever he is I am quite sure he is not being pushed around -- Mister Brown holds his ground.

On June 6, 1990, Aaron Brown was at Ten Bungalows having his picture taken while listening to The Rolling Stones' "Between A Rock And A Hard Place."
