DOWNTOWN CROSSING — Tonight is Josh Childs' last shift as a bartender; catch him at Silvertone to say goodbye. While he'll still be very much involved in the operation of Trina's Starlite Lounge, Audubon, and Silvertone, a couple of rotator cuff surgeries have convinced him to retire from the bartending side of things. Patrick Maguire of I'm Your Server Not Your Servant has compiled a very nice collection of stories about Childs from industry folks who have gotten to know him over the years. [SNS]
