Neighborhood nostalgist EV Grieve wonders why so many new bars are gimmicky and poorly named. Case in point: the Blind Barber (gimmicky), 13th Step (offensive to alcoholics), SRO (an "unfortunate appropriation of poverty-related language by caterers to the affluent), the Ninth Ward (offensive to NoLa natives), and Billy Hurricane's (set up like a drinking theme park).
