The first HATM opened in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1990.

Famous quotes containing the words howl, moon, piano and/or bar:

    “The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
    and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
    the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
    like a plastic daisy and put out
    the black cat of her sensuous anger
    to howl on the fence all night.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “In his time, this one had little to speak of,
    The softest word went gurrituck in his skull.
    For him the moon was always in Scandinavia
    And his daughter was a foreign thing.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I will tell you what Jeanne was like. She was like a piano in a country where everyone has had their hands cut off.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Even the most incompetent English actor, coming on the stage briefly to announce the presence below of Lord and Lady Ditherege, gives forth a sound so soft and dulcet as almost to be a bar of music. But sometimes that is all there is. The words are lost in the graceful sweep of the notes.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
