At Payne's Biker Bar/Downtown Saloon men and women hang out for camaraderie and support from each other in these difficult economic times. They're morally opposed to taking unemployment benefits and would rather help each other. Hanging out at Payne's are John Pennington, Pat Lennon and Bruce Lefever, all of Leesburg.
