A Schwäbisch Mystery

Beutelsbach, Germany> Beer-drinkers in this small German town were mystified this morning when they awoke to find the beloved Gaststätte zur Rose replaced by a modern shop dealing in paper towels and other upscale toiletries.

By special arrangement, tonight's Stammtisch will be held in the Rose Room in downtown Pendroy. The proper authorities have been notified and will be rounding up the usual suspects.
