THIS DAY IN HISTORY! November 21, 1795: the first Jersey Mike's opens in Gorey, St. Martin parish, JE, as a contracted victualler for the Royal Navy base at Mont Orgueil Castle. The chain will be known simply as "Mike's" until it expands to Guernsey in the 1820s

Font 17: TIED HOUSE. This one is inspired by some long-hidden panes of glass in the 100+ year old former Schlitz Tied House at 94th and Ewing in East Side. The bar is currently being renovated and is now named the East Side Tap.
