Comments on: The New Edinburgh Pub–A clean, well lighted place http://michaelmurray.ca/the-new-edinburgh-pub-a-clean-well-lighted-place Michael Murray Writes Things Wed, 23 Mar 2016 04:29:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9.9 By: Michael Murray http://michaelmurray.ca/the-new-edinburgh-pub-a-clean-well-lighted-place#comment-104060 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 04:29:14 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=5719#comment-104060 Sharylin:

Paul is a great guy.

Everybody there, staff, customers, community, love him. A truly kind and decent man, somebody who provided an awful lot of us with more than we could understand. We need a million more men like Paul, ten million, one hundred. I thank him with the deepest sincerity for his work, mourn the passing of the bar, and wish him great health, happiness and success in all his endeavours.

He put his heart a soul into his business and genuinely cared for his staff and customers as if they were family. It’s very hard on everyone who loves and cates for him to watch him loose the business he poured his whole heart and soul into. Not only does he go out of his way to support charities but he supports the community and his family. It’s a sad time for all especially for those who found salvation in those four walls. It was a place where people gathered simply because of the welcoming atmosphere. Watching my uncle tear up as he said his goodbyes and the tears shared amongst family, friends and employees made me realize how amazing of a man my uncle really is. I know he will Excell in any new venture he chooses it’s just sad to see a hard working an have to say goodbye to a business he truly loved!

I’ve seen you play probably 50 times, good times were had I had my first drink there and so did the kid. It was a real “local”. I’m sad to see it close, I will miss the cobb salad and the company.

My late mum’s apartment was right around the corner from the New Edinburgh and when we were all home catering her at the end of her life the pub was a place for my sibs and I to retreat to to sit, be neutral (ish), and refuel on comfort food. Surprisingly, I also ended up running into and reconnecting with more than a few Ottawa friends that I’d long lost touch with as they passed in and out of the place speaking of impossibly grown up things like second children, new jobs, mortgages and divorces..

Michael, a lovely and personal tribute.

Darko, I was thinking of that lovely summer afternoon too! Thinking back on it, that was a very impressive Croatian victory.

Croatia won, Knippel was impressed. Yes!

When memories are made in a place such as you’ve described it is hard to see it go. Great writing, as always. Thanks for sharing this story.

Since moving away I have rarely been back but it turns out my parents are regulars, know all by name, and are devastated at the loss of their local pub. We went recently for my Mum’s birthday and heard the news first hand… and I couldn’t believe how many of the staff I still recognized. My best wishes to them all in their new endeavors.

It wasn’t just a gig, it was a family gathering!
Friendly, warm, non-judging….all reflections of Paul and his loyal staff (rare in this day and age).
I’m saddened to see this happen.
It is home for many!

When a pub (I remember opening) closes after “decades”, you realise you aren’t the high school student you used to be.
I was a border at Ashbury back in the late 1980s. When the the New Ed opened, it was a bright light ‘at the bottom of the hill’ – a welcome respite from The Claude where we used to frequent. Just don’t tell them that I was underage at the time.
