    About this ebook

    Bored with her current social life of expensive cocktails with pretentious Black folks in downtown Philadelphia, professional misanthrope Charing Ball, along with some of her best girlfriends, decides to spice things up by going on a drinking tour of the local "hood bar" scene in West Philly. The results of this mis-adventure is a witty, true-life short collection of bar stories about self-discover, the struggle to accept change and why every bartender deserves more than that measly one-dollar tip your drunk ass leaves on the table at the end of the night.
