Picador 2006

Just a few days after starting my internship at the Gazette in 2006, I covered the opening of the Picador in the old Gabe's location in Iowa City. All I really knew about Gabe's at the time was what was on the photo request: been around for decades, gross bathrooms, reopening under a new name. This weekend, I'll be covering the re-opening of Gabe's, so I thought it an appropriate time for a flashback post. So here you go, Murder By Death and the opening of the short-lived Picador.
