We (Blogfinger.net) wrote about Paul last year when Bob Bowné photographed him on Ocean Avenue in the Grove with his 1961 Thunderbird (see link below).
But Paul is really famous because he plays an electric organ in the Casino, featuring old merry-go-round style music. It is such a delicious throwback to another era, and Paul just goes on and on, rarely missing a beat. He nods happily when someone tosses some dough into his plastic pail. He seems to be there all the time, as if that is all he does. Stop by and say hello to a fellow Grover.

Nagle’s is scheduled to reopen in April 2026. The new owner is a restaurateur . We expect that Nagle’s will return embellished with fond memories and plans for a glorious eatery. And let there be live music! We do need that in the Grove.
