Stories about bars and pubs usually focus on the patrons\\u2014the folks who rely on their regular spots for connection, a sense of place, or simply as a go-to destination where they can grab a drink with friends.

It\\u2019s a snapshot of the last moments of Goose Island\\u2019s Clybourn Brew Pub in Chicago, and its biggest mourners\\u2014the folks who work there and have called this space their home for years.\\xa0\\xa0

The closing of Clybourn Pub\\u2014not forever but for renovations\\u2014was a moment that inspired GBH\\u2019s founder Michael to write a tribute. The Clybourn Pub was symbolic of many things for Michael. Sure, it would open again, but as a changed entity: looking new, different, perhaps more modern. Beyond that, its closing and renovation meant something more. It\\u2019s not quite clear what, and, as Michael states, he needed a moment to figure it all out.\\xa0

This is Michael Kiser reading his article, \\u201cGoodbye to Goose Island\\u2019s Clybourn Pub for a Season, and Forever.\\u201d Listen in.
