There's a certain amiability unique to the unpretentious gay dive bar that allows complete strangers the freedom to casually share their secrets. After meeting a young man and receiving "the blowjob of a lifetime" he became a loyal customer of The Quest (as well as other "businesses" in the neighborhood).

Looking around the neighboring parking lots, I found myself angrily thinking about what a waste this fate seems. I couldn't find the owner in the crowd, but everyone I talked to confirmed my fear-the 1920s building is being razed to make way for a block of townhouses.
