End of Traditions

An era ends tonight at 10 when Traddies makes its last last call.

USC's only on-campus bar will be demolished, along with the rest of Commons, to make way for a new student center. I've been told there should be a substitute bar as part of the new facility opening in 2010, but nothing can truly replace the great memories and mediocre beer. Traddies has been around since 1987 and served as USC's version of Cheers ... an underground bar where everybody knows your name (plus beer pong and a lot of pre-game activity).

As posted on the Facebook group called Traditions...you've been here, you just don't remember:

We really appreciate all the support you have given us all year. Last minute things.

Tonight is the last night and we are expecting it to be extremely busy so come EARLY.

Being that it is the last night, DON'T wear anything you really value - you might get a little wet. INSTEAD, wear the gear that you plan on wearing to the fountain run tonight.

Pour out a little liquor for your Trojans ...

Thanks for posting up stuff like this. For those of us who visit campus once or twice in the Fall from our out-of-state perches, its good to be able to explain what happened to some of these places we remember.

I double checked the blue prints for the new commons site and YES there is a specific location in the basement labeled as "Traditions" booyah! Plus asked but I had to make sure...

Thanks A-Rose. Brings back memories of my glory days at Troy in the late 80s, early 90s. We always started the Tradie's experience with a 'Vulcan Mind Warp'. Good times, good times!
