I had dinner at The Ear Inn last night, which is a federal style house built in 1817 for James Brown, a black man and aide to George Washington during the Revolution. Go read the history right now, so you too can know that the name was chosen to avoid the Landmark Commission’s lengthy review of any new sign. The neon’ BAR sign was simply painted to read EAR.
