“Twelve 22” sign.
The most recent efforts seem
to be paying off.
A ccording to police records,
there h asn ’t been a single inci­
dent this year.
Kay Newell, who is on the
B o ise
N e ig h b o rh o o d
A ssociation's board, said in an
e-mail exchange that the bar has
had problem s in the past, but
went on to say that Van “ is w ill­
ing to do what he needs to make
the business a positive en ter­
tainm ent spot for the com m u­
nity.”
“1 think he has a fair chance,”
said Thom as Boothe, who sold
Van the bar, o f his efforts to put
it on the right path. He said that
Van had no previous experience
m a n ag in g a bar, w h ich has
caused him to stumble.
Van isn ’t ju s t fo cu sin g on
security; he w ants to change
the feel of the bar. He envisions
a c o m m u n ity s p a c e w h ere
people can celebrate special
events, hold meetings, network,
take in a band, or just relax. He’s
put in flat screen televisions for
the B la z e r’s g am es, sta rted
booking bands, and will co n ­
tinue to offer a m enu full o f
staple bar food.
O n a S a tu rd a y n ig h t th e
flashy sign for Twelve 22 can
be seen blocks away. Inside, the
room is cast in a red light. Bob
M arley posters are spread spo­
radically on the walls.
The door man, wearing cos­
tum e m ilitary garb, am iably
checks IDs. Van sits by his side,
with a steely gaze directed at
the door. He occasionally gets
up and circles the bar, greeting
custom ers. The bar's clientele,
so m e w ith g ray d re a d lo c k s
som e with sagging pants, play
pool, chat it up or shake their
b u tts on th e d an c e flo o r to
tu n e s ra n g in g from M arv in
G aye to 50 Cent.
At one point in the evening
two uniform ed police officers
enter the prem ises and stand
like statues near the pool table.
Their presence fazes no one.
For Van, saving the bar is less
about his livelihood and more
ab o u t p re se rv in g a h isto ric
com m unity space.
"T h e re are lim ite d so c ial
o u tlets in the com m unity, e s ­
p e c ia lly A fric a n -A m e ric a n

that the gran d p aren ts o f som e
