Mister Ron's Basement #1512 Happy Thanksgiving! If you would like to hear some Thanksgiving stories we have presented in past episodes, just click here. Jonathan F. Kelley's 1856 posthumously published collection of his newspaper writing, 'The Humors of Falconbridge,' brought him the nationwide popularity he never received during his lifetime. 'Knocking Down' is the practice of a bartender stealing from the till, which is an important part of today's tale of two bartenders, 'Getting Square.' Time: approx ten and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Jonathan F. Kelley index is at: http://ronevry.com/falconbridge.html John Kelly (no relation to this week's author, as far as we can tell) of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement.
