The couple so nice, we’re doing them twice! That’s right Angie and Ben of Union Park Tavern and Pavle’s Lounge return to Ktown Connects. But we had a lot of new stuff to talk about and they brought a milk crate full of alcohol for us to enjoy, which resulted in some candid talk about why they bought a second bar (Pavle’s Lounge, 1724 52nd St), Ben’s recent foray into politics as a candidate for the 65th District Assembly (a position that has been held for many years by Tod Ohnstad = see episode 99, March 2023), and Angie’s recent health issue which left her family and friends concerned for her as she sat in a coma for 10 days! Check out Angie & Ben’s first appearance on the show, EP25 released on 1/7/21 to learn more.Spotify Apple PodcastJenny Don’t and the Spurs, an Americana group from Portland Oregon will be taking the stage at Pavle’s Lounge on Sunday, June 2nd starting at 5pm.
