– Here’s a cheeseburger recommendation for you: There’s a restaurant on Third called George’s Coffee Shop that I’ve heard makes some of the best cheeseburgers in town. It’s in a building with several other businesses between Jefferson and Court, about half a block south of the black glass Darth Vader building where all the bankruptcy hearings take place. It’s only open for lunch. I haven’t had a chance to try it myself, but believe me, the person who told me about it is an EXPERT on the subject of cheeseburgers. So his recommendation is good enough for me.
– Yesterday the gang was sitting at the Saucer discussing the Downtown panhandling problem… the panhandlers certainly haven’t disappeared by any means, but I have to say that things are better because several of the area’s most annoying and/or aggressive bums have disappeared. The “shoe shine guy” – gone (and I have it on pretty good authority that he’s in jail). Sharp Dressed Bum – haven’t seen him in at least two weeks. Willie with the goatee who bothers people outside Walgreens – haven’t seen him in at least two weeks, and I hear he’s also had a trip to 201 in the past month. The short fat blond woman who cusses people out – haven’t seen her Downtown in weeks, although there have been some sightings of her in Midtown.
Hopefully I’m partly responsible for Sharp Dressed Bum’s disappearance… the CCC has a new security coordinator, and he e-mailed me a few weeks ago asking if I knew of any safety issues downtown. I replied with a detailed description of SDB, and he said he’d pass on the info to cops whom he works closely with. And now he’s gone. Heh.
– Blogger continues to piss me off to no end. Not only have I been unable to change my template for 4 days, but now it’s not letting me post pictures. If Blogger didn’t suck you’d be looking at a pic of the Nuh-Uh Sister in a tube top, taken last month at trivia night. Guess it’ll have to wait until later though. A few more days of this and I may have to seriously reconsider WordPress.
Short post today, because I want to hit Bookstar and buy a book. Possibly back later today with another one, as I have a couple of topics on deck.
By the way – you know how on the weekdays I tend to post at lunchtime, usually between 11 and noon? This week will be the last week for that posting schedule… and there’s a very good reason why. Details to come. Starting Monday I’ll be posting more often, and at more varied times.
