I was at NCSU for the 70-74 years. Like you, the PR played some part in
getting me through, especially Physical Chemistry in 73. Red's Tavern
and the Wolves Den also played a large part. The PR is the sole
remaining venue.
There are fish behind the bar and pirana are illegal so I suppose they
must have put in some other types of fish. We all know that nothing
illegal ever happened at the PR... Snerk!!!
There are a lot of spirits remaining in those black walls. Roger
