The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
Somewhere between Middle Ages Germany and now, we managed to transform a simple word for flying through the air on a rope (swanken) into a bebop-and-scat subculture whose adherents strut around mouthing hepcat jive and snapping their fingers a lot. But hey, it’s cool. It’s swank, baby – especially on Monday nights at Chez Nous, whose weekly 1960s Drinks at 1960s Prices promotion features cheap booze and “musical ambiance” by Juke Joint Jimmy. Prepare to swanken to everything from Dean Martin to Martin Denny beginning at 7 p.m.
