"Ale Mary" Dive Bar Uses Monstrance and Chalices for Drunken Revelries
Excerpt:
The most disturbing thing in the restaurant is the monstrance which is behind the bar used as decoration. The monstrance is large ornate disk, often resembling the sun, which is surmounted in a long stand with a heavy base. It contains a crystal compartment at the center of the disk where a consecrated communion Host can be placed inside and it allows the priest to elevate the entire object by the stand for the veneration of the Sacrament it contains. Seeing this monstrance here in this bar, covered with mardigras beads and a mustached smiley face where the Host would normally be is a little bit like finding family heirlooms in the hands of people who not only use them for purposes for which they were never intended, but use them in disrespectful ways. the rest image
(Several commentators referred to Daniel 5:25):
“This is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

Ahh, the New Springtime!
It's actually a restaurant that Tancred was thrown out of
Tancred has never been to Baltimore.
By the way,whomever made that reference to Daniel is brilliant.
Some people just don't see the writing on the wall till it's too late.
