Quaintly weathered shingled tavern by the Potomac sells volumes of it (4, 7, 3)
Just noticed typo. Should’ve been:
Quaintly weathered shingle tavern by the Potomac serves volumes of it.
I think it’s actually T + lonely reversed (“regressively”).
Olde English Inn?
Close. The last 3 are Arabic numbers solved in 4 Roman numerals. I wasn’t sure if the answer code should 3 or 4.
I don’t want to stall the game. The solution is Olde English 800, 800 being DCCC in Roman numerals. I specified the last part was 3 characters, which 800 is. But I suppose if this is usually done in crossword format, it would’ve made more sense to reference the RMs and specify 4. Apologies.
I yield the next clue to whoever wants to take it
The number should match the length of the answer. Using “DCCC” as part of the clue would have been proper.
Biotop, you at least made a guess, so you take it.
