This was an email thread from July 6, 2005 about the new Nyack bar called Vertigo.
___________________________________________
Rob: The new bar/restaurant at 91 Main Street has finally opened. It's called "Vertigo". I don't know where that name came from, but already I've heard stories that Larry Mullen is one of the owners. That's probably a myth, but who knows, he does have a house in Nyack. But then, why would they have a fake U2 band playing there in August? Anyway, my point is, I would have been (bean) more likely to go had they named it "Vertullo", which is just a few letters off. Now this may sound silly, but consider that since I've left Suffern, The Celtic House, Chubby's, Muggs Pub, and Ramapo Vally BrewPub have closed, and I expect the closure of former mainstay Walsh's any day now.
Karl:
