‘It’s Been Quiet Around Here Since Papa’s Closed’ – Jesse Lovell, Company Bar
"It's been quiet around here since Papa's closed." by Margaret Ryan That’s what Company Bar owner Jesse Lovell has to say regarding gang activity in White Center. Papa’s Pub was located just down the street from Company. A much different kind of bar, Papa’s appealed to a diverse group of drinkers, pool players, music lovers, drug addicts, and gang members. When a key bar employee and her boyfriend were arrested in October, 2011 for dealing cocaine and selling illegal firearms out of the bar, it took only four months for the County to shut the place down. Evidently, customers of Papa’s were also ...
