(Ian Smith photo) But is it really a pub Dear Editor: I agree with Murray Boal's criticism of the Queen's Cross expressed in Sunday's paper. To call it a neigh- bourhood pub is an insult to the basic concept of such establishments; the Queen's Cross is a cocktail lounge catering to an upper income clientele.
