This kind of thing is why I’m proud to be a Downtowner

I was at the Saucer where Dos Equis Lager was the Fire Sale… and I had way too many of them.

While there, I received a text from the bartender at Kooky Canuck.  “Come down, ur friends are here,” said the text.   Unfortunately I had a full beer, and by the time I finished it I received word that they had left.  “Well, come get food after you leave the Saucer,” texted the bartender.

It’s good to be wanted, and I will stop in Kooky very soon.  However, before I even stepped out the door of my apartment pre-beer I had my stomach set on a West Coast Burger from Huey’s.  I had one earlier this week, and tonight I wanted the same thing again, but as a turkey burger, with fries.  When I walked in and ordered, the bartender asked, “Ranch instead of ketchup?”  Which I had totally forgotten about, but that’s how I ordered the fries earlier in the week.  Awesome suggestion.

It’s funny how we can be in the Downtown of a metro area of over a million people, and yet this is truly the place where everyone knows your name.  I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Thanks to Huey’s and Kooky for reminding me why I love this neighborhood so much.
