We usually hate articles like this because they are pointless. Cue the other dumb articles trying so hard to pretend Pink and Taylor Swift are somehow connected to the Lehigh Valley as if we need the fact that they had their first kiss here in order to validate the towns we live in.

However, this one was interesting enough that I’d want to check out the bar and throw up some Bangor gang signs to show that I lived near the owner’s old stomping grounds. There have to be some Bangor gang signs, right?

There’s now a bar where Will Ferrell fans can dish out “Anchorman” one-liners and sip cleverly named cocktails like a Smelly Pirate Hooker. Stay Classy New York opens Friday on Manhattan’s lower eastside, but it’s already promising to be a laugh. “The idea kind of came from a joke,“ co-owner Brian Link tells Fox Lifestyle. "My business partner Zach Neil and I were looking to buy a bar and we were just kind of curious about what to do as a theme and so I quoted something from a Will Ferrell movie and he just kind of said ‘You know what? Why don’t we do a Will Ferrell character themed bar?’” The name of the bar is an ode to “Anchorman” and the fan art on the wall spans the actor’s resume. Even the drink menu reads like a list of greatest hits. SOURCE: Fox News

Brian Link went to Pius X High School.

Uhh… that’s in Bangor!

Err… Bangor is part of the Lehigh Valley depending on who you talk to and what day you talk to them!

Umm… He seems like a super cool dude!

Aah… We all love Will Ferrell!

In any event, it’s always interesting when you hear stories like this because it makes you think things like “Oh, wow, the Lehigh Valley is part of the real world. Would you look at that?”

We’ll definitely stop in the next time we’re in NYC.
