Manuel’s Tavern: 3D Glasses News!

Back in a time when 3D glasses were totally not overdone…

I chose this newspaper article about 3D movies as my focus concentration on Unpacking Manuel’s. 3D glasses share a rather intimate history with Manuel’s Tavern, and I would love to share with you my findings. But first, let me take you back in time.

Let us journey back to Manuel’s Tavern on 602 North Highland Ave NE. The date? July 23rd, 1982. As a regular patron of Manuel’s, you walk into the tavern as always. Ordering a House Burger and an IPA (Congrats you’re at least 21!), you look around in amazing to see an unusually large crowd congregating towards the TV by the bar. You lean over to see large, cardboard glasses with blue and red films. Those glasses are wayy to edgy to be in style right now. To find out why these crazy people are crowding over a TV with such weird glasses, check out my piece on Unpacking Manuel’s Tavern!
