Callahan's Place

Callahan's Place was a New York City bar operated by Mike Callahan from 1948 until its destruction in a nuclear explosion on December 31, 1986.

=== Legacy ===
After the explosion, the radioactive fallout blew on the wind out into the sound and then east into the ocean. The authorities covered up the fact that the explosion was nuclear in nature to prevent residents of Long Island from fleeing en masse. (PROSE: The Callahan Touch)
Stonebender would later opt to open up a new bar named Mary's Place in May of 1988, in tribute to both Callahan's and Mary Callahan. (PROSE: The Callahan Touch)

=== Inherent Attributes ===
* Invisible Protective Shield: With few exceptions, no person who didn't belong in Callahan's Place ever went to Callahan's. From its opening in 1948 until its destruction in 1986, no bikers, brawlers, sexual predators, or even drunks came to the place. (PROSE: The Callahan Touch) Everyone who did come to the bar had needed to, and generally kept coming until they no longer needed to. (PROSE: That Guy with the Eyes, et al)
