So, since finding out that UMass is moving back into their on-campus stadium just in time to battle the Falcons, it was driving me crazy that the name sounded so familiar. The other day it finally came to me. This summer, I was reading a book about New York which talked about this bar that was located in the Bowery. It was a big-time dive bar and people had a lot of unhealthy habits, including all manner of drug and alcohol abuse. Anyway, people at the end of the line went into the bar and had a tendency to kill themselves. As the place gained notoriety, it started to attract a higher class of customers attracted by the morbid opportunity to see someone commit suicide.
The name of this place. McGurk's.
McGurk's Suicide Hall.
So that's where I remembered it.
