 * PS: Thanks for your contribution to Barney's Beanery. All text needs to be verifiable. Is there any published source that says the sign went up due to ABC pressure? It's an interesting detail, if it can be confirmed.    Will Beback    talk    22:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Will, I am giving a first hand account on the ABC pressure. During the 50's I read the documents sent to my father Barney, the founder and owner at that time. I doubt after all these years a record of those documents exists. Any advice on finding out if they do exist and getting copies if they do? Is that what would be required to keep this information in Wikipedia? Thanks, Gina Ginava (talk) 23:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The general ABC policy on gay bars is probably sourceable somewhere as there's been a lot of scholarship on things like that. As for the specific issue with your father's establishment, I can think of only one easy way of dealing with this. We can use the official "Barney's Beanery" history, on the current website, as a source. If you talk them into adding this detail to that document then we could use it as the published reference.

Will, Thanks for the advice. I will see if Domenic Priore will add this to his history of the Beanery. Gina Ginava (talk) 00:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
