There's little information available explaining how or why the El Camino achieved the muscle-car celebrity status that it managed in the United States.

Not a St.-Patrick’s-day-only bar: O'Sheas, Brunswick
If you're reading this, let's hope it's still St. Patrick's day and that you're either at, or on your way to, your neighborhood Irish pub to bring in the holiday properly; i.e. with a pint, some corned beef hash, and fellow green-clad drinkers. Now if you happen to find yourself up in Brunswick for the holiday, then chances are you're in the right place to bring in, continue, and finish the day out right at O'Sheas pub on Maine Street.

Feeling like a respite from the same ol' Portland scene, I make a break northward, headed for a college town tavern I'd heard a lot about. After about a 37 minute drive, I hit Brunswick's wide Missouri-like Maine Street, trolling past at a crisp 12 miles an hour trying to find "123," the address where the village's trustiest watering hole, Joshua's, lies in wait.
